Join our chat with Dr. Don Blankenship on March 7th from 10:30am-11:30am CST. Dr. Blankenship is a research scientist and director of the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics.
Don uses both airborne and ground-based geophysical techniques, including laser altimetry, radar sounding, seismic reflection and refraction, and potential fields methods, to investigate dynamics of large ice sheets and subglacial geology. Much of his current research is focused on understanding the West Antarctic rift system (including the flanking Transantarctic Mountains) and the marine-based West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Tune in Thursday, March 7th at 11am and join the chat! Here’s how:
1. Go to www.CyberwaysandWaterways.com. On the left hand navigation, click "chat/mail/boards".
2. An hour before the chat, there will be an active link under "chats". Click this. Clicking this link will take you to a JOIN page (if you are not a member of the Cyberways community). Click "join" to join our community.

* Seeing Leaves in a New Light
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Study/LAI/
An increase in plant growth can cool surface temperatures, give rise to more rain and cloud cover and lower the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. For many years biologists and Earth scientists have known of these interactions, but they have never been able to precisely measure and assess to what degree plants influence climate. Using a measurement known as Leaf Area Index, scientists have now found a way to quantify plant growth on a global scale with satellite imagery.

This is the most amazing, fantastic, incredible "geo" website I have ever seen.
Mind blowingly awesome!
Excuse me, I don't usually get excited about websites.
But this ones different.
From a helicopter, every square inch of California coastline. Not a millimeter missed.
There's a story behind this, and I'll talk about it in a later response.

The Idea
We've flown over most of the California coastline before and have seen the beauty of the natural coastline and destruction that man has wrought unto it. In 1997 we volunteered the use of our helicopter to the Sierra Club. It wasn't long before Mark Massara called us asking for our help working with Gary Lynch, an established environmental photographer from Cambria, to document San Simeon Point for the fight against a huge resort and golf course that the Hearst Corporation wants to build. Our mission and the fight against this development was successful, and from time-to-time over the years we have volunteered our time and resources to help protect the coast.
We've been called to photograph "after" pictures of illegal activity that has destroyed the coast, but rarely do we have the "before" pictures. More than once we wished we'd used the opportunity to photograph a "before" picture.
This started us thinking -- what if we photographed the entire coast as a baseline of "before" pictures? We did some film-less dry runs near our home to try to understand how big a project this would be and estimated that it would take 10,000 exposures. The cost of the film and processing, not the mention the problem of indexing, filing, and retrieving the slides, made the project seem prohibitive at the time. Fortunately, technology changes this...
http://www2.californiacoastline.org/
I looked at one single picture tonight and I was overwhelmed by the detail and the magnificence of this part of our planet.
It took a very long time to load.
And it took a longer time to marvel at it's beauty.
Warning, this site could be very, very addicting for geophiles.

The photos are truly amazing. This guy and his wife fly a small helicopter along the coastline taking a picture every 3 seconds and feeding it into their Apple notebook computer until they have 40 gbs or about a days worth of photos. The pictures, as you saw, are huge and they take a long time to load in your browser. But they are often worth the wait. I could almost count the tiles in Grace Slicks swimming pool in Bolinas. The California coastline is one of the most amazing places on the planet and this is the next best thing to being there.

They are one and the same. ptw and cfadm. cfadm is the "super user" that owns the bbs software and I find myself in this mode when I need to do maintenance on the system on the web based interface.
Usually "terry" logs in via ssh and cfadm uses the web interface.

From my editing background either word fits. In any case it is a great link. Voluunteering lets you make mistakes and they can't fire you (though I have yet to see a mistake from you) so have at it. What is your interest in Morocco?

Enough mistakes and they will let you go, and there are other things you can do to get banned from editing, but without some rules, the directory wouldn't be the cool thing it be. I started editing in Morocco because someone started a project to straighten up the category, and I'd never done anything in Africa, so I asked to help and got approved to do so. The topical side of the directory confuses me more than the Regional side, so I like to expand my permissions in Regional whenever I feel I can.
As for the profile, some habits die hard.

OH yes... thanks for reminding me after all those years of dealing with incompetent volunteers that you are not welcome if you mess up.
Have you discoverd the Berber connection? There was a French prof at UH Hilo with relatives (Berbers) in Morocco. It sounds very interesting. Perhaps the subject of a travel topic? I need to go back into that coference to add a few things.

well, yeah, you can't be an "editor" and make mistakes, now can you *grin* i think it's great that you're hooked up with them.
i'm interested in Moroccan culture but more with the art/textile side than anything else, never bothered looking anything up on the internet *duh* usually am trying to find something at the bookstore.....

PLEASE someone, why is Geo topic 2 about volcanoes not visible? It is my favorite places and I send others there. Now it is invisible and therefore non-existent as far as anyone is concerned. Help!! Please!!

I'm one of those dinosaurs using Netscape 7.2 I love Netscape's bookmarks so for 10 years or nearly that long I have transfered them from computer to computer.

Using Internet Explorer 6.0 I could also not see it. Is anyone else having trouble with Geo topic 2? I'm not sure what browser my friend was using, but he was the one who brought it to my attention.

Many MANY thanks for restoring my favorite topic. I guess I retired it instead of freezing it - but have no idea when that was.
I now have a ftp program downloaded and tried logging into spring.net anonymously which it did (Good) but rejected me (for security reasons I am guessing) so Next I need to know what to do to get in and how do I arrange the commands so it can see where I have the graphic stored but so it is not still visible online.

I really didn't do much except slack off a little less.
