Follow Animal Migrations On Google Earth
Google Earth is turning out to be a great resource for scientists to visualize and communicate the phenomena they study. You can see the migration patterns of endangered and other threatened animals, based on data collected by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation. (The image above shows the range of both the Northern spotted owl and the Mexican spotted owl).
Google Earth. Scientists are doing this in droves. You can also track storms, the paths of solar eclipses, volcano activity, arctic ice melting, bird flu mutations and biomaps of emotional stress levels in different cities (see this Popular Science article for more info).Since these are all KML files, they could be made into layers on the
regular Google Maps as well. Although they wouldn't look as cool, more
people would see them.

"Popular Science Highlights Scientific Applications of Google Earth
The July issue of Popular Science has a special series of articles highlighting five different scientific visualizations involving the environment using Google Earth. I'm glad to see a popular mainstream magazine giving visibility to visualizations with Google Earth that are not silly scenes found in the satellite photos, but instead show that you can share meaningful scientific and environmental data and make it meaningful. Many of these visualizations were presented at the American Geophysical Union Here's a quick summary of the five visualizations with links to the respective KML files, the Popular Science article, and links to previous GEB stories on the visualizations:"

Google Goes Back to 1500,
Plans to Map the Oceans
As a natural progression from Google Earth and Google Sky, the Mountain
View monolith now plans to create 3D maps of the Earth's oceans and
seas and make it available via Google Ocean. The software will allow
users to navigate the aquatic bottom and see the topography that exists
down there. Google also plans to include interactive data about various
subjects such as weather patterns, coral reefs, shipwrecks and
currents. The goal for Google Ocean is to use as much high resolution
photography of the underwater terrain as possible, offering more than
just a map. But researchers say such a process could take upwards of
100 years. And Google, if you're going to include an Easter egg similar
to Google Earth's flight sim, could we get a guided tour with a virtual
Team Zissou? [CNet News]
