GIS
Environmental Education
http://www.enr.state.nc.us/ENR/ee/gisee/gisee.htm
This Web site is a product of a growing assemblage of people from local, state,
and private sector organizations in North Carolina working together to make
local and statewide environmental data more readily available and usable by
teachers, students, and the general public. The consortium aims to enhance
environmental education by enabling teachers and students, as well as the general
public, to access North Carolina environmental data using geographic information
systems (GIS). Projects include the Upper Neuse Regional Data System, NC River
Basins, and Acid Rain Across America.
Upper Neuse
Regional Data System
http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/stacks/gis/regional/
This
Web-based interactive database contains numerous layers of socioeconomic data,
natural resource collection, and environment data. Users can, explore, create,
query, and print maps displaying information about the Upper Neuse Region in
North Carolina.

Exploring
Earthquakes in Space and Time Through the Internet and a Geographic Information
System
http://rmmcweb.cr.usgs.gov/public/outreach/quakegis/
This module contains
an exercise in which students are asked to examine the frequency and distribution
of earthquake epicenters and compare these epicenters to the distribution of
plate boundaries and cities. Students download earthquake epicenters for the last
several days and for an entire year from the Internet, map the information
using ArcView geographic information system (GIS), and analyze the patterns that
become evident.
