CDF - the Collider Detector at Fermilab [.ps]
http://www-cdf.fnal.gov/
The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) (reviewed April 28, 1995 Scout Report for Science & Engineering) studies high energy particle collisions at one of the world's most impressive particle accelerators. The main goal of the CDF "is to discover the identity and properties of the particles that make up the universe and to understand the forces and interactions between those particles." At the Website, a News section offers links to the 1998 WWW updates of the reviews, tables, plots and major notes from the Particle Listings. CDF Physics Results allows users to access publications, preprints, and conference proceedings from CDF working groups. A CDF for the Public section includes a High Energy Physics Tour for laymen, and links to all CDF collaborators. A multifaceted searchable site for physicists. [KR]

Superconductor Information for the Beginner
http://superconductors.org/
Superconductors.org, a non-profit, non-affiliated Website, provides this clear introduction to the world of superconductors. Starting appropriately with Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, the first man to observe superconductivity in 1911, a history of superconductors section familiarizes students and laymen with the development of materials that have no resistance to the flow of electricity. Subsequent sections include uses for superconductors, various types of superconductors, links to current superconductor news, and patents. Along with a section containing links to other superconductor sites, relevant internal links occur within the text. [KR]

Ask-An-Earth-Scientist
http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/GG/ASK/askanerd.html
Provided by the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Hawaii, this educational Website covers topics in and beyond the fields of geology and geophysics. At the site, users may send (electronic) questions to 'real live scientists' regarding: Volcanoes and Igneous Rocks; Geochemistry, the Environment, and Pollution; Geophysics and General Geology; Earthquakes and Seismology; Hydrology and Water Quality; Natural Hazards; Minerals, Gems, Ores and Crystals; and Sediments and Sedimentary Rocks. Answers are thoughtful and content-rich, although many are specific to the Hawaiian Islands (as expected). To submit a question, users must select from a related topic area and then complete the online submission form. First-time users should begin by browsing previous questions and FAQs, however. This is a wonderful resource for students wishing to interact with established scientists, or for educators seeking clear and interesting explanations of natural phenomena. [LXP]

Internet Resources for the Mathematics Student [Java, Mathematica, Maple]
http://www.langara.bc.ca/mathstats/resource/onWeb/
Compiled by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Langara College, Vancouver, Canada, this metasite of internet resources contains hundreds of links to mathematics tools, on-line versions of complete courses, illustrations of individual concepts, and a great deal more. Resources are listed by topic (i.e. Precalculus, Calculus, Finite and Discrete Math, Linear Algebra, and Statistics), and also by category (i.e. Tools, Tutors, On-line Courses, General Catalogues, and Organizations and Institutions). The Tools section, for example, contains Java based graphers, computer algebra systems with Maple and Mathematica interfaces, and online utilities for statistics.The creators of this site are highly aware of the quality discrepancies rampant on the internet and while they do not take responsibility for all their links, they do outline important criteria for separating "the wheat from the chaff." Overall, an outstanding meta-source for mathematics students. [KR]

Special Event Page: August 17, 1999--Turkey Quake
http://www.iris.washington.edu/DOCS/turkey.htm
On August 17, 1999, an Earthquake of 7.4 on the Richter scale devastated Northwest Turkey. With the United Nations estimating final death tolls to top 40,000, this quake is proving to be one of the worst natural disasters in recent history. Immediately following news of the quake, the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), a consortium of United States Universities, posted a special event page to provide links to sites, graphics, general and technical information, and news on the recent seismic event in Turkey. Contributions made by IRIS consortium members include US Geological Survey reports, data from data stations in Poland, and links to the British Broadcasting Corporation and the Turkish Press Review.

As part of the US Geological Survey's Western Region Mineral Resources Survey Program - Alaska Section, these data files hold descriptions of mines, prospects, and mineral occurrences. The Alaska Resource Data File (ARDF) divides the state into 1:250,000 scale quadrangles which may be clicked on to download individual reports (.pdf). Records account for "metallic mineral commodities only," but may include certain "high value industrial minerals such as barite and rare earth elements." An explanation of the fields used in the reports is also available. This database is being steadily compiled, thus data is not available for all areas in the state. By clicking on quadrangles that are not currently supporting information, the USGS is notified of interest. [KR]

10) Selected Hurricane Bibliography
http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/general/lib/lbi.html
Hurricane researchers around the country are expecting 1999 to be an unusually active hurricane season. Though still early in the mid-August through October season, the North Atlantic has already seen two tropical storms (Arlene and Emily) and three hurricanes (Bret, Cindy, and Dennis). While Hurricane Bret struck land in a rural portion of South Texas, and Dennis flirted with the coasts of North and South Carolina, there is reason to think the worst is yet to come. Many of the atmospheric and oceanic factors that are considered conducive signs for hurricane activity have been in place since earlier this year and most likely will persist through the season. Dr. William Gray, professor of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University, has predicted a busy year with 14 named storms and 9 hurricanes (defined by wind speeds equal to or greater than 74 miles per hour), four of which he predicts will sustain winds of 111 mph or more. This week's In The News focuses on the 1999 storms that have been consistently threatening US coasts since the middle of August and the educated predictions that this year might be especially severe. Below are ten sites containing hurricane data, research, news, and up-to-date images.

For starters, The Washington Post printed this article (1) on October 30, 1999, as headlines across the nation were dominated by a close watch on Hurricane Dennis' uncertain path. The following resource, a University of Wisconsin press release (2), discusses satellite tools that are helping researchers more accurately predict a cyclone's behavior. Next, Dr. William Gray of Colorado State University forecasts the 1999 Atlantic seasonal hurricane and landfall strike probabilities in this detailed and much discussed report (3). A seminal source for hurricane data, current images, news, and information, the National Hurricane Center's homepage (4) is provided here. The University of Wisconsin's Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies Web site (5) (described in the May 13, 1998 Scout Report for Science & Engineering ) provides access to cutting edge hurricane data and images. Under the umbrella of the Bermuda Biological Station for Research, the Risk Prediction Initiative (6) is a climatological research and education program with publications (.pdf), forecasts and tutorials. Another site with current climate research, the University of Utah's Tropical Convection Research Group homepage (7) contains links to group members which include the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission and the Texas Florida Underflights (TEFLUN) Field Experiment, among others. The Air Force Reserve's 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron flies research planes into hurricanes. Images of these unusual exploits can be found at the Hurricane Hunter's Homepage (8). Finally, easy access to two informative pages from the Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory complete the list; these include a substantive FAQ on hurricanes, typhoons, and tropical cyclones (9) and a selected hurricane bibliography (10).
