Geomagnetism
 Websites presented in alphabetical order Current Space Weather Conditions 
 "The official source of space weather alerts, warnings, and forecasts," providing current information on geomagnetic storms, solar winds, solar flares, and aurora activity. The education/outreach page features a FAQ, a glossary of solar-terrestrial terms, a primer on space weather (in English and Spanish), short essays on related topics, and classroom materials. From the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ Topics: Astronomy, Geology, Weather Last updated Jul 2, 2008 Geologic Hazards
The Geologic Hazards Team is a part of the US Geological Survey (USGS) which researches the causes of landslides, earthquakes, and other geological phenomena. This site has three main sections: geomagnetism, landslides, and earthquakes. There are also Java-driven interactive maps of Western States Faults and National Earthquake Hazards. http://geohazards.cr.usgs.gov/ Topics: Geology, Weather Last updated Jun 1, 2005 Geoscience Australia
Australia's "leading geoscience research and information agency, responsible for producing and providing spatial information to the Australian community." Online tools include a place name database, mapping systems, earthquake maps, sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset times, and a distance calculator. The agency researches minerals, geomagnetism, oil and gas production, marine and coastal activities, geodesy and GPS (Global Positioning System), satellite remote sensing; and more. From the Australian Government. http://www.ga.gov.au/ Topics: Geography, Geology, Maps by Place, Regions of the World, Science, Scientific Themes, Technology, Transportation Last updated Jul 11, 2006 Magnetic Storm
This site is a companion to a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) NOVA program about the magnetic field that protects the Earth from radiation, its current weakening and potential for continuation or reversal, and effects of these changes on animals. The site features essays, images of auroras ("the most visible signs of Earth's magnetic field"), a simulated flip of the Earth's magnetic field, a teacher's guide, and related links. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/magnetic/ Topics: Geology Last updated Nov 17, 2003 Paleomagnetism: Magnetic Domains to Geologic Terranes
Contains the online edition of the textbook by the same name. For "students of paleomagnetism" or "anyone who has sufficient interest in paleomagnetism to read through this text." From a professor in the Department of Geosciences, University of Arizona, Tucson. http://www.geo.arizona.edu/Paleomag/book/ Topics: Geology Last updated Jul 3, 2005 Sunspots
Explores "the nature of sunspots and the fascinating history of our efforts to understand them." Includes "interviews with solar physicists and archaeoastronomers, historic images, modern NASA images and movies, and a sunspot research activity." Also features a glossary, and information on the sunspot cycle, solar flares, auroras, and geomagnetic storms. From the Center for Science Education, Space Sciences Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley. http://cse.ssl.berkeley.edu/segwayed/lessons/sunspots/ Topics: Astronomy, Geology Last updated Aug 25, 2003 |
