With operations beginning in 1991, "the Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change (NDSC) is a set of high-quality remote-sounding research stations for observing and understanding the physical and chemical state of the stratosphere" and is supported by the International Ozone Commission, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Researchers can receive verified NDSC data such as ozone, temperature, and aerosol profiles. Users can observe the temperature lidar, ozone microwave, and other instruments and measurements employed. Students can find answers to common questions dealing with the ozone layers, causes of its depletion, and the Connections between Climate Change and Ozone Depletion. The site also contains newly added images of the station, the equipment, the scenery, and much more. [RME]

The size of a ten-story building, 6800 feet underground at the Creighton mine in Ontario; the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory is a telescope built to study neutrinos and the core of the sun. Students can learn how Cherenkov Radiation is produced and used to detect neutrino properties. Scientists can read the newly published paper dealing with the measurement of Total Active 8B Solar Neutrino Flux using NaCl, as well as other published papers and Conference Proceedings. The site also offers illustrations such as neutrinos striking heavy water and the attractive Double-Ring Event. [RME]

As part of the Computational Chemistry Group at the University of Minnesota, The Cramer Group developed this Web site to illustrate its research efforts in molecular modeling and computational chemistry. Researchers can learn about the group's projects dealing with Structure and Reactivity, Solvation, High Spin Organic Molecules, and Organophophorus. The site provides abstracts for Cramer's numerous publications as well as information on how to obtain the full documents. Scientists can learn how to acquire copies of two computer programs: AMSOL, used by the group to calculate the attributes of molecules in a solution; and OMNISOL, used for the non-quantum-mechanical assessment of solvation of free energies in water or organic solvents.

The Thermodynamics Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Chicago developed this Web site to exhibit its research in the "molecular based study of fluids, solids and phase transitions, statistical mechanics of complex systems: equations of state, asymmetric mixtures characterization, surface and interfacial properties," and "solubilities in Liquids and Supercritical Gases." The site provides descriptions and images of the laboratory and equipment including the Atomic Force Microscopes and the Supercritical Fluid Extraction and Screening System. Scientists can learn about the group's research in supercritical fluids and supercritical extractions. The site has a new publications section where reprints of many of the group's papers are available. Researchers can also learn about The 4th International Conference on Fluid and Thermal Energy Conversion, which will be held in Bali Island, Indonesia December 7 - 11, 2003. [RME]

http://www.iso.vilspa.esa.es/

The European Space Agency has constructed an expansive Web site committed to its Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) -- a mission launched in November 1995. Visitors can find links to the latest news about ISO and learn about upcoming conferences. This site provides scientists with the data collected by ISO as well as Data Analysis software to assist in data preparation, calibration, visualization, and much more. Visitors can also download scientific publications from 1996 to the present. Everyone will want to visit the Gallery to view amazing images collected by ISO. [RME]

http://epsc.wustl.edu/haskin-group/

From the Department of Earth and Planetary Science at Washington University in St. Louis, this Web site addresses the Haskin's Research group's interests "in the nature and early histories of the Moon and Mars and in the origins of terrestrial materials that are analogs to lunar and Martian rocks." The site illustrates the group's work on developing the Mars Microbeam Raman Spectrometer, which will be used to obtain detailed mineralogy of Mar's planetary materials. Educators and students can learn about many conferences such as the 34th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference and the Sixth International Conference on Mars. Researchers can download many abstracts the group has prepared for the conferences as well as abstracts of numerous papers published by the group. [RME]

A project between the University of California Berkeley Seismological Laboratory and the United State Geological Survey, the Northern California Earthquake Data Center (NCEDC) "is a long-term archive and distribution center for seismological and geodetic data for Northern and Central California." Educators and students can examine recent seismograms from the Berkeley Digital Seismic Network. Researchers will benefit from the site's enormous amount of data collections including BARD; a system of 67 constantly operating Global Positioning System receivers in Northern California. By reading the annual reports, educators will also learn about the center's many outreach activities from talks and lab tours to the production of classroom resources for kindergarten through twelfth grade teachers.

http://www.psi.edu/rct/

This Web site describes the RCT (Robotically-Controlled Telescope) Consortium; comprised of Western Kentucky University, the Planetary Science Institute, South Carolina State University, Francis Marion University, and Villanova University; who assumed control of the 1.3-m telescope on Kitt Peak in Arizona. After reading about the history of the project, educators and students can learn about the RCT properties and its contributions to the astronomy field. Visitors can also view images collected by the telescope including the Rings of Saturn and the Trapezium in the Orion Nebula. [RME]
