Complex Systems Research Center: Set of projects investigating the effects of human disturbance on the Earth's biogeochemical processes. Emphasis is placed on the ocean's role in the global carbon cycle, forest decline and land use change, nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems, and processes contributing to changes in atmospheric chemistry and climate. Additional sections include a list of publications, associated projects and graduate education resources.
Author: Complex Systems Research Center, University of New Hampshire

Creating the Gottesman Hall of Planet Earth: Resource tracing the formation of the earth over 4.5 billion years, explaining how the earth has evolved, how to read rocks, why there are ocean basins, mountains and continents, what causes climate and climate change, and what makes the earth habitable. Provides details of rock collecting expeditions, the scientists involved, steps involved in preparing rocks for exhibition, and tools used on expeditions. Also features an illustrated glossary of geology terms and selected minerals.

Earth Interactions: Earth Interactions exploits the capabilities of electronic communications technology to add value to the publication of research results in the interdisciplinary earth sciences. The journal publishes articles dealing with the interactions between the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere in the context of global issues or global change. It provides authors with the opportunity to use animations and other visualisation techniques that traditional publications cannot accommodate.
