Description
This is an Internet guide written for the earth sciences. Whether this text is used for Internet homework exercises, lab exercises or strictly for students to explore on their own time, this text aims to open students' eyes to the range of information that is literally at their fingertips. The earth scientist rarely investigates a problem within the confines of just one discipline, thus the vast resources and connectivity of the Internet gives earth scientists an "information framework" to conduct their work. This text provides the tool to get your students "up and running" on the Internet while providing guidance and exercises to immediately apply what they have learned by visiting the "Earth Online" home page and chatting with the author. Students will learn how to venture on virtual field trips around the planet, view the latest satellite images, explore educational sites, access up-to-the-minute research data, participate in online communities, and delve into the volcanoes of Hawaii, thereby experiencing the processes within the earth sciences.
