Digital images taken from space satellites. "Landsat represents the world's longest continuously acquired collection of space-based moderate-resolution land remote sensing data. Nearly four decades of imagery provides a unique resource for those who work in agriculture, geology, forestry, regional planning, education, mapping, and global change research. Landsat images are also invaluable for emergency response and disaster relief."

From the National Geophysical Data Center. Includes resources such as Sediment Thickness of the Oceans, Animated Dives to Ocean Floor Features, Coastal Relief Imagery, and Crustal Age of the Ocean Floor.

"The main purpose of this atlas is to show what coals, cokes, chars, carbons, graphites, and other natural and man-made carbonaceous materials look like under the optical microscope with the intent of characterizing these materials for both scientific and industrial applications." From Prof. John C. Crelling, Coal Research Center & Dept of Geology, Southern Illinois University
