| Here are some miscellaneous links to
geomorphology on the web. Some are interesting, and some are
amusing. More links will be added as the term progresses. If
you find an interesting and relevant web page on geomorphology, send the
url to Pat McDowell (pmcd@oregon.uoregon.edu), and it will be added
here. |

| Maps and Mapping:
U.S.G.S. Mapping Division:
This page describes the many types of maps made by the U.S.G., and how
to buy them. Most of the U.S.G.S. maps are available on campus at
the Documents Center in Knight Library.
MapServer by Map Tech:
This web site by a commercial map company allows you to view and print
topographic maps, nautical charts and aviation charts for free.
Topozone: This is
another commercial web site that allows you to view U.S. maps on the
web.

| Remote Sensing:
NASA JPL Images and Videos:
This is an collection of images of Earth taken by the satellite imaging
radar (SIR), maintained by National Aeronautics and Space Agency's Jet
Propulsion Lab.
Terraserver by Microsoft:
You can view and print aerial photos (DOQs from the U.S.G.S.) of the
U.S. for free at this site.

| General and
Miscellaneous Geomorphology:
Virtual Geomorphology
page: An electronic geomorphology textbook, maintained by a
professor in Poland. Contains links on many geomorphology topics,
contributed by geomorphologists from around the world.
|
| Rivers and Floods:
Stream Systems Technology
Center: This is a program of the U. S. Forest Service that
develops techniques for studying and monitoring streams on U.S. National
Forests.
Columbia (Missouri) River
Studies Station (USGS): This research program is conducting a
number of studies, in the Ozark Moutnains of southern Missouri and
Arkansas, on river habitat, geomorphology, how human activities have
affected the rivers historically, etc. |
| Debris Flows and Other
Mass Movements:
Venezuelan
Flash Flood and Landslide Disaster: A slide show on the
dramatic debris flow in Carabellada, Venezuela in January 2000, from the
U.S.G.S. Great pictures (after you go in about 10 slides)! |
| Government Agencies:
U.S. Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.):
The major federal agency for earth sciences. They produce maps,
digital geographic data, measure streamflow and water quality, conduct
geologic research, etc.
Oregon Dept. of
Geology and Mineral Industries (D.O.G.A.M.I.): The state
equivalent of USGS.
