Geology Links Page

Welcome to our Geology Links page.

We hope this newly formatted listing helps you more easily find the weather information you are looking for.

If you would like to recommend a site for inclusion, please let us know and we'll consider it.

If you find that a site doesn't work properly or that a link has become outdated, please let us know that as well. We'll update it promptly.

Until then, happy "surfing"!

CBC.ca (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation)
http://cbc.ca/news/indepth/earthquake/
General information about earthquakes, with specific information about the risks in Canada.

Infoplease.com
http://www.infoplease.com/spot/earthquake1.html
A primer about earthquakes; includes lots of historical tables and lists. Are earthquakes only a west coast US phenomena?

NASA's Digital Tectonic Activity Map (DTAM)
http://denali.gsfc.nasa.gov/dtam/
The Digital Tectonic Activity Map (DTAM) is a new Geographical Information System (GIS) visualization tool for both researcher and educator alike to better understand tectonic activity of our planet for the past 1 million years. It was created using current global datasets of seismicity, volcanism, and plate motions that were integrated with topography and bathymetry measurements derived from satellite gravity data. Note that to effectively use the maps, you have to download the image files.

NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC)
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/
If it addresses the earth-ocean-atmosphere system, the information may likely be here.Topics such as bathymetry, topography, geomagnetism, habitat, hazards, ocean geosciences, paleoclimate, satellites (not just weather-focused), snow and ice, solar, space weather, and terrestrial topics can be found here. Includes interactive sections (e.g., global bathymetry and topography), as well.

NOAA's Satellite Volcano Watch
http://rsd.gsfc.nasa.gov/goes/text/goes.volcanoes.html
When a volcano erupts, it's cloud can be monitored from weather satellites orbiting the Earth. Offers a different, meteorological perspective of a geologic event.

Volcano World
http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/
Looking for information about current and historical volcanoes? Look no further.

USGS's National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC)
http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/index.html
Site contains information and maps about the latest quakes (US and world-wide), quake preparedness, understanding and measuring earthquakes and much more. If you have sound capability and can play .wav files, you can even "listen" to an earthquake!
