Radar
entomology. The Radar Entomology Web Site offers a guide
to tracking migrating and foraging insects with high
precision. It was developed by biometeroloogist Alistair
Drake of Australia's University of New South Wales. It has a
lot but for most of us the immediate attraction is the radar
photfile which profiles insect radar images of honeybee
drones congregating near a Texas hive and aphids surfing a
surging sea breeze in Finland.

Detecting Seasonal Vegetation Changes Using AVHRR
NDVI: Satellite imagery shows how the changes in
vegetation growth over a year of Minnesota, Wisconsin,
and Michigan. You can also see lakes, cities, aquifers,
and other data.
Metro Area Watershed: Data and satellite imagery of
the Metro Area. Use to see dam locations, mining
operations, watersheds, and much more. You are able to
query information about specific features.
Root River Watershed: Data and satellite imagery of
the Root River Watershed in Southeastern Minnesota. Use
to see dam locations, mining operations, watersheds, and
much more. You are able to query information about
specific features.
Landsat Thematic Mapper Availability: The user is able
to click on a scene to get information about the latest
Landsat 5 and 7 revisit dates and cloud cover. This tool
will allow the user to qualitatively assess cloud cover
over a particular Landsat scene, on a given revisit date,
through Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite
(GOES) imagery. The user may then use this information to
order Landsat imagery through TerraSIP or the EROS Data
Center's EOS Data Gateway.
AVHRR Application (eGIS): This application is
developed as a tool for analyzing and monitoring of
natural resources at regional level using multi-temporal
AVHRR imagery. Present research and development are
funded by NASA under TerraSIP project.
Learn to create your own Mapserver Applications for
delivering dynamic GIS and image processing content via the
World-Wide Web (WWW). The package contains a number of stand
alone applications for building maps, scalebars and legends
offline.

DNR web-site with Statewide aerial photographs and
satellite images. Current boundary water blowdown imagery and
collection of information about forest fires in Minnesota. http://www.ra.dnr.state.mn.us/.
ImageView enables interactive browsing of satellite
images covering the Minnesota landscape where the user
can manipulate the display characteristics of the
imagery.
ForestView brings MN DNR Forestry's Cooperative Stand
Assessment (CSA) GIS data and satellite imagery together
in one interactive interface. Users can overlay forest
inventory data from state-owned lands onto the satellite
image of their choice.
ChangeView presents browsable "forest
change" images, which are derived from two Landsat
satellite images of the same area at different dates.
Browse every USGS 1:24,000, 1:100,000 and 1:250:000
