Paleomagnetics Laboratory [QuickTime, pdf]
http://www.gps.caltech.edu/MagLab/maglab.html At this website, the University of Caltech's Paleomagnetics Laboratory promotes its research of weakly magnetic geologic and biological materials. Users can learn about the facilities such as the biomagnetics lab and the automatic sampler. The website features the laboratory's recent research on many topics including extraterrestrial magnetism, magnetofossils, and historical geomagnetic field behavior. Visitors can find out more about the many laboratory members' research activities through links to their home pages. Researchers can download a selection of the group's publications. Everyone can enjoy the amazing images from recent geologic field trips across the globe. [RME]
Photochemistry and Photonics at Boston University [pdf]
http://www.bu.edu/chemistry/grad/research/photonics/ This website promotes the photochemistry and photonics research of six faculty members at Boston University. Users can learn about the Photonics Research Center, whose goal is to produce a commercial development of photonic-enabled technologies. Through a link at the site, student and educators can learn about Professor Guilford Jones,II group's research on the photochemistry and photophysical properties of dyes, dye probes, and chromophore conjugates of polymers and proteins. Other research at the department includes portable laser and fiber-optics based instrumentation; biophysical, bioorganic, and laser driven chemistry; ultrafast spectroscopy, and photochemical methods in combinatorial synthesis.

Cornell University Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology: The Begley Group
http://www.chem.cornell.edu/tpb2/index.html At this web site, the Begley Group at Cornell University presents its research on the organic chemistry of enzyme catalyzed transformations in cofactor biosynthesis, the examination of the function of unassigned genes, and, with the help of other scientists, the completion of the functional assignment of the E. coli proteome. Researchers can find a complete list of all the group's publications from 1980 to the present. While a few of the links are currently under construction, the member links and research overview provides users with a thorough synopsis of the Bergley Group's work. [RME]
University of Alaska: Atmospheric Science Group [jpeg]
http://www.gi.alaska.edu/AtmosSci/ The University of Alaska created this website to present the work of the physicists, meteorologists, geologists, and chemists involved in the Atmospheric Science Group. Students and educators can discover the research interests and education opportunities in the atmospheric chemistry, atmospheric radiation, climate and global change, cloud and aerosol physics, mesoscale meteorology, and hydrometeorology subgroups. The website provides general information, specifications, and images of the lidar and radar equipment at the Artic Facility for Atmospheric Remote Sensing (AFARS). Users can find links to an album of atmospheric optical effects, forecast information, and other atmosphere-related information. Because of the group's wide range of research, everyone interested in atmospheric science will benefit by visiting the site. [RME]
Dartmouth Flood Observatory [Macromedia Flash Player, jpeg, Microsoft Excel]
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~floods/ The Dartmouth Flood Observatory website "is a research tool for detection, mapping, measurement, and analysis of extreme flood events world-wide using satellite remote sensing." Users can find data on flood damages, magnitudes, recurrence intervals, and more. The website discusses the Observatory's Wide Area Hydrologic Monitoring and Quickscat Wetlands Monitoring. In the World Atlas of Large Flood Events, students and educators can learn the causes, locations, and durations of floods. While the Observatory has attempted to collect data from 1985 to the present, the website does indicate that in recent years the reliability of the data has increased. [RME]
IceCube: A Telescope made from a cubic kilometer of ice below the surface of the South Pole [pdf, RealOne Player, QuickTime]
This website features the IceCube collaboration, encompassing physicists and astronomers from all over the world. Users can discover how IceCube will explore uncharted bands for astronomy. Students and educators can find a history of neutrino astronomy. Researchers can find a publications list, conference schedule, and downloadable technical documents related to the project. Within the Multimedia Resources, users can view a movie where Francis Halzen provides an excellent lecture about the IceCube project. [RME]
The Walsworth Group at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics [pdf, postscript]
http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/Walsworth/ The Walsworth Group at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics created this website to present its multidisciplinary research using state-selected atoms. The website provides images and lengthy descriptions of the center's many experimental research projects such as low magnetic field MRI for humans and granular media dynamics. Researchers can view abstracts and download papers describing recent results. The site does provide downloads for numerous student theses, but, in order to view many of them, users need to save the link first. [RME]
Meteorological Research Institute [jpeg]
http://www.mri-jma.go.jp/Welcome.html The Meteorological Research Institute (MRI) in Japan "is engaged in analyzing and predicting meteorological, geophysical, hydrological and oceanographic phenomena, as well as developing extensive related technology" in order to further understand global climate and natural disasters. The website features the Institute's nine research departments covering topics such as forecasting, seismology and volcanology, and oceanography. Within each research department, visitors can learn the details about numerous research projects. Users can also view abstracts of the institute's many meteorology and geophysics papers.
