Sites Relating to Cartography, GIS, Remote Sensing

This site constitutes the portal to information about geographic information systems (GIS) activities at Dartmouth College. It describes what the College is doing to advance use of the technology in teaching, and provides links to resources including software, data, and consulting support for instructors and students. It also contains some basic information about GIS and links to more in-depth knowledge sources.

Generally speaking, GIS is well-represented on the Web. One of the best organized (and current) approaches may be found at the ESRI's GIS site. Below are some sites focused on cartography and remote sensing, as well as a couple of sources for local geo-data.

Newsletters, fairly focused links. A slow site sometimes.

Very good description of the science of remote sensing. A CD with tutorial information is available.
