The Satellites of Earth, Mars, and the Moon

We always forget: there are a bunch of satellites orbiting Mars and the Moon. Perigee brings it all together!

Relief

Relief is simple & cool: just the topography as you zoom & pan around the world. Share as link or export as image & video. One gripe: the color ramp is not that great - something more 'natural' for elevtion would be better I think.

Data, GIS, and Society Online Course

This looks interesting: The Data, GIS, and Society Online Course.

• The YouTube playlist
• The Course itself as a series of Esri Story Maps linked from an ArcGIS Experience

Ice Age Animations

These are really cool: visualization of the ice sheet(s) extend(s) across Europe during the last Ice Age. Notice the rising & lowering of sea level as well and its effect on land masses!

• Eiszeit-Europa
• IceMap

Can someone please make this for the Laurentide Ice Sheet?

Best Travel Weather

Here are some tools to help you decide when to travel & where as a function of the 'best' weather & climate:

Ice in Antarctica

We know that ice started to form in Antarctica some 34 million years ago while that did not happen in the Northern Hemisphere until about 20 million years ago - why? Elevation! GHG concentrations and thus temperatures slowly declined over the last several 10s of millions of years. At the same time, Antarctica saw tectonic uplift and at some point the rising land and falling temperatures meant that the glaciation level dropped to below the land elevation and it became possible to snow to persist year-around - cool!

EDEN

EDEN = Extension Disaster Education Network

Could be useful in case we as GPS go into this direction.
