Cornell's Digital Earth 	 Project, Cornell Press Release
 









Excerpt: (...) An institute at Cornell University is building a
"digital Earth" that will become an important resource for
geoscience researchers and also will provide easy-to-use teaching
tools for educators from elementary school through college.
The Digital Earth Project, part of the Cornell Geoscience
Information System (GIS), is a global database created by the
Institute for the Study of the Continents (INSTOC) at Cornell to
make accessible geological information accumulated by Cornell
researchers over the last eight years. The GIS includes over 100
different data sets on the structure of the Earth's crust,
location of earthquake faults, a record of earthquake and volcanic
events, magnetic and gravity measurements and descriptions of
aquifers, along with details of surface topography. (...)
