Virtual Nebraska stores high-altitute images for students Conservationists, decision-makers and public also can use on-line service by Charles A. Flowerday Editor, CSD Grand Island, Nebraska, and Vicinity In this color-infrared photo of June 1988, vigorous plants appear red; exposed soil, blue-green to gray; water, black. Note the difference between the blue-green of the wet sand bars and the black of the deeper channels of the Platte River (lower left). Even for students whose notion of geography is two-dimensional maps and the mind-numbing location of stereotypical economic products, Virtual Nebraska promises to inspire. Why? Because it can provide both satellite and aerial views of the state’s landscape and offers a variety of digital data on demand for any number of locations and purposes. Eventually, its creators hope to be able to offer a complete virtual landscape of the state, over which virtual “flyovers” can be experienced for practically any lcation. “Virtual Nebraska can best be described as an on-line repository of imagery (shuttle, satellite and aircraft), educational resources (guides, sample lessons, data and image descriptions), and analysis and demonstration tools,” according to a flyer from the Center for Advanced Land Management Information Technologies (CALMIT), which sponsors the program that created Virtual Nebraska: the Consortium for the Application of Space Data to Education (CASDE). CASDE is the result of a collaboration in K-12 education between CALMIT, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and the Johns Hopkins University Institute for the Academic Advancement of Youth in Baltimore. A NASA grant allowed for its formation and data-delivery programs. Its intent is to take a huge collection of earth-science data from the air and space and, largely through the Internet, make it relevant to elementary, middle school and high school students, their teachers and the public.

Geography 320 US and Canada Site and Situation city assignment This paper is to be about 2 pages + bibliography. Double-spaced, 1" margins, typed. Please have each city on its own page! No more than a page per city should be necessary. We are looking for the reason thei city was founded where it was; what its relationship is/was with the surrounding area (situation); if this has changed since its founding, how and why. I do not need to know the Chamber of Commerce hype. You are to choose 2 cities from the list at the right and analyze the city's site and situation. You will need to look at a variety of maps(see below) and both zoom in and zoom out to look at the city's physical features (site morphology) and its relative location and hinterlands (situation). I have emphasized location, site and situation in class. You should know what they are by now, but just in case: Site: This extends the location description to include the ground a town occupies. The physical features of the landscape favor the placement of towns. It also allows for classifying towns according to physical features: rivertowns, gateways, natural resources. Site can also include the street layout, the demographic patterns and city functions or zones.

An Outline of American Geography MAP CHAPTER 11 THE GREAT PLAINS AND PRAIRIES T he historian Walter Prescott Webb, in his book The Great Plains , suggested that the northwest Europeans who settled much of the United States faced three great "environmental encounters"areas where climatic conditions were so unlike those of their home region that the agricultural crops and settlement patterns developed in Europe were inappropriate. The first of these encounters was with the high summer temperatures and humidity levels of the Southeast. The second was the arid Southwest and interior West. The third was the great continuous grasslands located astride the center of the country ( Map 10 Among the problems on the grasslands, average annual precipitation was much less than in the East, although violent storms accompanied by high winds, hail, and tornadoes were common. Blizzards with wintry blasts intensifying the cold drove the snow into immense drifts. The hot, dry winds of summer parched the soil and sometimes carried it away in great billowing clouds of dust. The region's sparse natural water supply would not support tree vegetation except along the stream courses. Many of these streams were small and flowed only intermittently. Eastern farmers, accustomed to a plentiful supply of water for crops and animals, as well as ample wood for building, fencing, and heating, had to adapt to quite different conditions in their attempts to settle the Great Plains.

Helpful Hints 1. Allow students to search the database for cities that they might be interested in before doing the activity. Give the students a class period to accomplish this. The database can be found at Nebraska Cities Search 2. Once an image has been selected copies can be made by choosing the "Print" option. If you do not have a color printer, printing would not be recommended as you would loose the color. CASDE will print copies for 25 cents per copy (8 1/2" by 11"). Any inquiries about copies can be e-mailed to brent@tan.unl.edu . Larger posters can be produced as well by going to Ordering Posters 3. Laminate copies for multiple use. 4. Have students use overhead markers so they can be easily erased on laminated copies. 5. Question #3 Hint. The city should have some obvious features such as roads, etc. but it should also be noted that the color is usually a cyan/blue. Cement and asphalt often reflect a cyan/blue color in a color-infrared image. Soils often reflect more of a cyan/green color. 6. #5 Hint. The red represents plants that are reflecting infra-red electromagnetic radiation. Healthy live plants will reflect high amounts of infra-red radiation.

About Virtual Nebraska Who should use Virtual Nebraska? How are the data in Virtual Nebraska prepared? What tools are available in Virtual Nebraska? ... Virtual Nebraska Home About Virtual Nebraska Virtual Nebraska emerged out of the Consortium for the Application of Space Data to Education (CASDE) project which began in September 1995 after Senator Bob Kerrey challenged personnel of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), JPL, and the University of Nebraska-Omaha (UNO). Virtual Nebraska Virtual America . It integrates CASDE data sets, imagery, tutorials, tools and information under one umbrella, thus serving as the mechanism that allows users to browse data without being preoccupied with the nuances of tools and esoteric data formats. In general, Virtual Nebraska is an on-line archive of satellite imagery and aerial photography that gives users the opportunity to view the State’s landscape from unique perspectives (e.g., at infrared or microwave wavelengths). Additionally, this web site offers digital elevation data, learning activities, image-processing tools, historical "looks" at over 600 cities, and examples of how remotely sensed data can be used to solve problems. We encourage you to use Virtual Nebraska Who should use Virtual Nebraska Although Virtual Nebraska grew out of an education project, use is encouraged by everyone. We have discovered that many people access this site simply to "see" what their city, county, or region looks like from above. Recognizing familiar locations, investigating "strange" shapes and colors, or identifying one’s home or farm can be fun and challenging. So, take some time and "click around". We suspect that you will discover things you never knew about Nebraska.

In addition to the Nation, the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, PEP produces estimates for census regions and divisions, counties and equivalents, incorporated places, minor civil divisions, consolidated cities, and metropolitan areas. Census Regions and Divisions Counties (and equivalents) Minor Civil Divisions Legally defined county subdivisions are referred to as minor civil divisions (MCDs.) MCDs are the primary divisions of a county. They comprise both governmentally functioning entities that is, those with elected officials who provide services and raise revenues and nonfunctioning entities that exist primarily for administrative purposes, such as election districts. Twenty-eight states and Puerto Rico have MCDs. However, the MCDs function as general purpose governmental units in all or part of only twenty states. Within these twenty states, PEP produces estimates for all governmentally functioning MCDs and for nonfunctioning MCDs in counties that contain at least one functioning MCD. The legal powers and functions of MCDs vary from state to state. Most of the MCDs in twelve states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin) serve as general-purpose local governments. In the remaining eight states for which PEP produces MCD level estimates (Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, and South Dakota) the MCDs, for the most part, perform less of a governmental role and are less well known locally, even though they are active governmental units.

These books, based on observations Garreau made while traveling throughout North America as a journalist, analyze the social and political forces Garreau believes are transforming the geography of contemporary American communities. His ideas have found a ready audience in both academic and nonacademic settings. Both books are fixtures in college classes in anthropology, geography, demography, and urban planning.

Virtual Reality in Geography. X and 404 pp., maps, diagrs., photos, index, CD-ROM. $85.00 hardcover (ISBN 0-7484-0905-X). Reviewed by Michael P. Peterson, Department of Geography, University of Nebraska at Omaha, Omaha, Nebraska. Virtual reality (VR) has intrigued geographers for over a decade. More than one colleague of mine has been heard to say that they would like to pursue research in the area, if they could find the time. The notion of virtual, whatever it may be, is appealing particularly for cartographers and geographers, who struggle with the representation of reality and the thought that present representations in the form of maps are somehow too abstract and therefore not sufficiently meaningful. It is this very struggle that pervades this edited volume. Of course, abstraction is central to our understanding of the world. To some extent, the more abstract the representation, the better it works as a functional representation of reality. Indeed, what is our purpose if not to make abstractions of the world, in various forms, that are more useful and descriptive than examining the world itself. I am reminded of a famous scene from the movie A Few Good Men in which Jack Nicholson's character, upon questioning by a prosecutor at a military trial, responds:
