PUGET SOUND AREA

King County Earth Legacy Initiative

 

Recognizes environmental programs, people, and companies working together to improve and enhance air, land and water quality in our region.

Olympic Park Institute

 

OPI serves schools and communities from the Pacific Northwest (the majority are from greater Puget Sound) with residential field science programs, Elderhostels, youth summer adventures, teacher training, conference space, and field seminars about natural sciences, the arts, and outdoor skills.

Seattle Tilth Association

University of Washington Geophysics Program

 

 

NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL

Biological, Agricultural, and Medical Resources (U.C. Riverside)

Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN)

 

Provides information to help scientists, decision-makers, and the public better understand their changing world. CIESIN specializes in global and regional network development, science data management, decision support, and training, education and technical consultation services. CIESIN is the World Data Center A (WDC-A) for Human Interactions in the Environment.

Centre for Computer Based Learning in Land Use and Environmental Sciences

 

Provides support for lecturers who wish to effectively implement computer-assisted learning (CAL) for courses in agriculture, environmental science, soil science, forestry, horticulture, the applied biological sciences, rural economics, rural business management and rural land use planning.

Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES)

 

CIRES is devoted to research and teaching in the wide-ranging disciplines of the environmental sciences. Research areas range from environmental chemistry to seismology, geophysics to climate studies, microbiology to polar studies

Global Entomology Agricultural Research Server

IUCN: World Conservation Union

 

(International Union for the Conservation of Wildlife) Our Mission is to influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve the integrity and diversity of nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable.

National Geophysical Data Center

 

Manages environmental data in the fields of marine geology and geophysics, paleoclimatology, solar-terrestrial physics, solid earth geophysics, and glaciology (snow and ice).

National Science Foundation

Noah's Ark

 

An organic farmers' homepage.

Polar Science Center

 

Research focuses on observing and modeling the physical processes that control the nature and distribution of sea ice, the structure and circulation in high latitude oceans, and the interactions among air, ocean, and ice. Of particular interest is the relationship between polar regions and the global climate system.

Soil and Water Conservation Society

 

Fosters the science and the art of soil, water, and related natural resource management to achieve sustainability. We promote and practice an ethic recognizing the interdependence of people and the environment.

US Department of Agriculture

US G.S. (Geological Survey)

US Long-term Ecological Research Network

 

Collaborative effort involving more than 1100 scientists and students investigating ecological processes operating at long time scales and over broad spatial scales.

US NASA Global Change Master Directory

 

a comprehensive directory of information about Earth science data, including broad coverage of the oceans, atmosphere, hydrosphere, solid earth, biosphere and human dimensions of global climate change.

US NOAA Environmental Information Services

WATERSHEDSS

 

Water, Soil, and Hydro-Environmental Decision Support System. A decision support system for non-point pollution control.
