[Back to Contents]The Computer Vision Handbook
http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~fleck/computer-vision-handbook/
A work in progress, this site outlines resources for computer vision techniques, including societies and funding; general references and lab procedures; and indices and programs for mathematics, computer science, graphics and physics. The goal of this electronic handbook is to provide graduate students and others new to computer vision research with a useful tool because, "...the computer vision literature is vast and diverse. Furthermore, computer vision research depends on techniques from a wide range of other fields. Therefore, it is difficult for newcomers (e.g. graduate students) to assimilate enough background material to do their research," says the site's collaborative authors, scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Harvey Mudd College, and the University of Iowa. This metasite is well-organized into subheadings: The Computer Vision Community, Computer Vision, Mathematics, Computer Science, Hardware, and Allied Fields, and a glossary is also available. Because it collects so much of the literature and so many Websites, the Computer Vision Handbook is an indispensable tool for graduate students and faculty in the field. [HCS]

[Back to Contents]Atmospheric Science Quiz
http://www.enn.com/features/2000/08/08082000/atmosphericsciencequiz_14852.asp
"Just as an organ has a unique structure and function, so does our atmosphere . . . There is a real possibility that the health of this organ has been compromised," by the thinning of the ozone layer and the accumulation of greenhouse gases. The Environmental News Network provides this educational and inspirational quiz about our precious atmosphere. Each question comes with an explanation of the answer, fantastic related links, and statistics about the percentage of participants who answered correctly. For example, only 30 percent of the quiz takers knew which layer of the atmosphere contains the most ozone! This quiz is a unique way to learn about the science of global warming and other human-influenced environmental threats. [HCS]
[Back to Contents]University of Connecticut Plant Database
http://www.lib.uconn.edu/CANR/plsci/mbrand/
Dr. Mark Brand of the University of Connecticut offers this multimedia plant database, which features many of the plants found on college campuses in the northeastern US. Designed with a horticultural flavor and featuring many exotic ornamental species (as well as some natives), the heart of the site is the hyperlinked lists of plant names (common and Latin), with associated species accounts. Each account provides information on habitat, habit and form, seasonal foliage colors, flowers, fruit, bark, ID features, landscape use, cultivars/varieties, culture and liability, and propagation. An added feature of the site is the virtual "campus walks" section, of use to students at the University of Connecticut. This Website does not attempt to highlight the native flora of the northeast, yet serves a different, still useful educational purpose: to teach students how to identify plants in the immediate campus environment.

[Back to Contents]Two Geometry Metasites
The Computational Geometry Pages
http://compgeom.cs.uiuc.edu/~jeffe/compgeom/
Geometry in Action
http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/geom.html
The first metasite, authored by Dr. Jeff Erickson of the University of Illinois's Computer Science Department, provides links to Internet and print resources dealing with computational geometry. At this site, users can find links to research groups (e.g., the Algorithms of Motion Project, University of Minnesota Geometry Center), forums, bibliographies, journals, and software resources. Because the site has not been updated regularly, the job and conference announcements should be ignored, but the wealth of other links makes the site useful nonetheless. The second site listed "collects various areas in which ideas from discrete and computational geometry (meaning mainly low-dimensional Euclidean geometry) meet some real world applications," according to the site's provider, Dr. David Eppstein of the University of California at Irvine. Categories available include Geometric References and Techniques, Design and Manufacturing, Graphics and Visualization, Information Systems, Medicine and Biology, Physical Sciences, Robotics, Other Applications, and Recent Additions. The types of links included are data sets, patents, journal articles, and research pages (note: a few of the links don't work, but overall the site is useful). [HCS]

[Back to Contents]Ecological Footprints of Nations [RealPlayer, .zip]
http://www.ecouncil.ac.cr/rio/focus/report/english/footprint/
In the wake of the 1997 Earth Summit (United Nations Conference on Environment and Development), Dr. Mathis Wackernagel and other experts wrote this report comparing the ecological impact ("footprint") of 52 large nations containing 80 percent of the world population. The report, featured on this Webpage, shows the extent to which each nation's consumption can be supported by its local ecological capacity. One key finding is that "today, humanity as a whole uses over one third more resources and eco-services than what nature can regenerate." This site contains all sections of the report, and includes (in addition to the detailed methodology and results) a glossary, a RealAudio interview with lead author Mathis Wackernagel, and the capacity to download (.zip) the text portion of the report.

TRACE Solar Mission Movie Gallery [MPEG, QuickTime, Java,]
http://vestige.lmsal.com/TRACE/Public/Gallery/Movies/
The evolving art of computer imaging, in combination with policies requiring government agencies such as NASA to disseminate information publicly, has spawned a number of exciting, educational movies and animations of outer space on the Web. These three recent examples, all topics of science news headlines, are worth checking out. The first is a computer animation of what the planned 2003 Mars Rover expedition might look like. Viewers can see the bumpy, balloon-cushioned landing of the cartoon rover and then follow it as it zips along the simulated surface of the red planet. The file is available for download in high, medium, or low resolution formats (approximately two minutes long; QuickTime). The next page is a 20-minute RealVideo consisting of a narrated newscast of the docking of a cargo ship to the International Space Station. It includes reports from the control room as well as black-and-white video of the docking. The third page comes from the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) Mission's homepage. The latest videos of solar activity can be viewed in a variety of formats (MPEG, QuickTime, Java, and .gif); they include images of the dynamic solar flares that have recently been disrupting radio and television transmissions (see the July 19, 2000 Scout Report for Science and Engineering).

http://www.boi.noaa.gov/firewx.htm
Only part of the way into a wildfire season that threatens to become the worst in half a century, much of the US is currently ablaze this August, with 65 large wildland fires in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. The fires have roared across the dry western US this month, following an unusual year-long dry spell that some experts attribute to La Nina. To date, nearly 63,000 wildfires have burned four million acres of forest and grassland nationwide. Dry lightning strikes, strong breezes, high temperatures, and the potential for human error led government officials to close more than six million acres of state, private, tribal, and federal land in Montana last week as a preventative measure. This week's In The News focuses on wildfires; the twelve resources listed above provide information from the general to the technical, with several exceptional resources for the research community.
The first news resource, from The Christian Science Monitor, offers a brief look at recent wildfire events at a national scale (1). For an overview of the spread of wildfires through the western US, we suggest this news feature from Environmental News Network (2). Current headlines, regional fire conditions, and fire reports are posted at the US Forest Service's Fire News Website (3) as well as at the National Interagency Fire Center's homepage (4), which additionally includes national wildfire maps and year-to-date fire summary statistics. For information on wildfire research, this site from Natural Resources Canada and the Canadian Forest Service has much to offer (5). Also of interest to researchers, the Global Hydrology and Climate Center's Lightning Research site (6) provides data, global images, publications, and an excellent primer on lightning -- one of the primary players in the spread of fire. For recent color images of fire events in the US, visit this page from NOAA (7). Four additional research sites include the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's page on modeling fire patterns in Yellowstone (8); two research tools from the nongovernmental research group Systems for Environmental Management: a graphical fire area simulator (9) and FireLib, a "wildfire behavior function library" (10); and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)'s site on Global Wildfires (11). Finally, for those seeking more information on wildfires and wildfire research, the National Weather Service in Boise, Idaho's Fire Weather homepage (12) offers an excellent collection of resources.
