Great Zoom into San Francisco, CA: Fishermans Wharf
Using data from different spacecraft and some powerful computer technology, visualizers at the Goddard Space Flight Center present you with a collection of American cities in a way you have never seen them before. Starting with our camera high above the Earth, we rush in towards the surface at what would be an impossible speed for any known vehicle. Passing though layers of atmosphere, the colors of our destinations shimmer with their own unique characteristics, and suddenly we find ourselves fl

"Sustainable Development: Theory and Policy, Spring 2009"
"This course examines alternative conceptions and theoretical underpinnings of the notion of "sustainable development." It focuses on the sustainability problems of industrial countries (i.e., aging of populations, sustainable consumption, institutional adjustments, etc.); and of developing states and economies in transition (i.e., managing growth, sustainability of production patterns, pressures of population change, etc.). It also explores the sociology of knowledge around sustainability, the
Tires and ecosystems
Tires are one of the worst things that can be thrown into a landfill. They take up a lot of room and they can collect rainwater that is a prime breeding ground for mosquitoes. Tires can be repurposed, or used for other purposes, such as tire swings and playground toys. They can also be recycled and used to make school gym floors and shoes.

Oil Spill
This lesson will allow students to explore an important role of environmental engineers: cleaning the environment. Students will learn details about the Exxon Valdez oil spill, which was one of the most publicized and studied environmental tragedies in history. In the accompanying activity, they will try many "engineered" strategies to clean up their own manufactured oil spill and learn the difficulties of dealing with oil released into our waters.
Episode 136: India's ambitions: Pathways and pitfalls to greatness Video -- Exxon Valdez Lessons Applied in Gulf Coast Cleanup df_16 Conversa Livre: Chá da tia Elaine e outras coisas. The STS-135 Crew Farewell Ceremony and Hatch Closing Greek taxi drivers strike
This four minute video explains how the December 3, 2010 leanup techniques used after the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill may have caused more environmental damage than the oil itself.
So different strategies—such as washing sand and returning it to
beaches—are helping to clean Gulf of Mexico coasts affected by the oil spill. This could be used as a career video or to show how science can be used in the environment.
