Earth Science Australia

Flinders University School of Chemistry, Physics and Earth Sciences (SOCPES)

Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Gallery

Contains several visualizations which have been prepared in the course of GFDL's research, and subsequently presented at meetings and in the media. These are offered here not so much as scientific research results, nor do they necessarily represent the entire spectrum of research being conducted at GFDL, but rather as examples of various visualization techniques and how they might be used to convey complex results as understandable images. A number of visualizations are also available in the form of annotated handouts.

Geoscience Internet Links

This site contains extensive links for the geosciences. It is maintained by the Institute for Geosciences, University of Mainz, Germany.

Indigenous Weather Knowledge

The project recognises the knowledge of weather and climate developed over countless generations by Australia’s Indigenous communities, nicely complementing science and statistically based approaches.

SA Museum-Journal Search

In 2004, the South Australian Museum and the Royal Society of South Australia became partners in Southern Scientific Press. This led to the amalgamation of their two professional journals. The Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia now incorporates the Records of the South Australian Museum.

This database covers papers from the old journals and the new combined journal, after five years from publication.

U.N. Atlas of the Oceans

The Atlas is an information system designed for use by policy makers who need to become familiar with ocean issues and by scientists, students and resource managers who need access to underlying data bases and approach to sustainability.
