The National Map Home Partners/Data Arkansas ... Missouri AR-KS-MO Regional National Map Project This project provides a fundamental building block for The National Map : multi-State data. The compelling achievement stitches together different geospatial data residing on servers in Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri. The data are from different sources, based upon different schemas, but will be styled in such a way that information will appear as though its all one source. The achievement will eliminate a common barrier found in many approaches in solving geographic problems where the data ends at the State borders. Scientists and researchers in Missouri and Arkansas will be able to use geographic data together to study water quality in the famed White River watershed. The same could be said for economic and business developers in southeastern Kansas and southwestern Missouri exploring ways to spark rural economies using geographic information from both sides of the State line. Previous The National Map Partnership Projects have approached other technical challenges in implementing The National Map . This pilot however, is the first of its kind to involve statewide geographic databases from three different States. While the effort is a major technical challenge, it could not have been accomplished without the strong bond between geographic administrators and decisionmakers in these States. Each of the three States are active participants in a multi-State consortium known as the

VIRTUAL REALITY: A New World for Geographic Exploration Gail S. Ludwig University of Missouri-Columbia New worlds, or new areas in cyberspace, are being discovered and being applied to education at breakneck speed. The Internet, 3D graphics, QuickTime Movies, Quicktime VR and a multitude of new concepts and ideas are now being promoted on the internet and in leading educational journals throughout the world. It is a major undertaking just to keep abreast of this technological revolution, but the ideas and methods evolving are impacting education in ways no one could foresee just a year or two ago. As a geographer, I have struggled for years trying to teach students to visualize what an environment is like using only flat maps and photographs. A flat map is a wonderful tool for looking at spatial patterns, distributions and relationships, but it does little to convey how the physical landscape and the mapped phenomena relate to each other. Two dimensional images such as maps and photographs can convey what an area looks like, but nothing is as good as actually being there. Not being there is the problem. How can an entire class be transported to remote locations throughout the world without sending an entire school district or university department into bankruptcy? How can the relationship between topographic relief, land use and people be visualized and studied in a manner that is understandable? The answer, potentially, is Virtual Reality (VR), a low cost, second-best way to experience an environment without actually traveling to the site.

Neill The name Ecuador is Spanish for equator, and the country straddles the geographic equator, from about 1°30'N to 5°S latitude; mainland Ecuador extends from about 75°20'W to 81°W longitude. An important event in the history of world geography was the 1736 geodesic expedition led by the French geographer C. M. de La Condamine, when the region was part of the Spanish Empire. La Condamine and his colleagues measured arcs of the Earth's curvature on the equator near Quito and near Pedernales on the Pacific coast; these measurements enabled the first accurate determination of the size of the Earth and led to the establishment of the international metric system of measurement. The fame brought to the region by the French geodesic expedition evidently influenced the adoption of the name, Republic of Ecuador, when the country gained independence in 1830. Centro de Levantamientos Integrados de Recursos Naturales por Sensores Remotos (CLIRSEN), operates a Landsat and SPOT satellite image receiving station near the Cotopaxi volcano, carries out geographic and natural resource studies using remote sensing data, and sells the satellite imagery to other users.

UNIVERSITY OF M ISSOURI PRESS in Missouri James D. Harlan and James M. Denny Foreword by Matt Blunt ISBN 0-8262-1473-8 152 pages 17 x 12 "For years to come the Atlas of Lewis and Clark in Missouri will serve scholars and Lewis and Clark aficionados alike as the standard geographic reference work on the great expedition's Missouri chapters. The combined maps and text convey a sense of time and place that will enable armchair explorers to experience vicariously the Corps of Discovery's laborious trek across Missouri."William E. Foley The Atlas of Lewis and Clark in Missouri is a splendid re- creation of the natural landscape in the days when a vast western frontier was about to be explored. The Corps of Discovery's expedition began in territorial Missouri, and this book of computer-generated maps opens an extraordinary window onto the rivers, land, and settlement patterns of the period. This book is an intensive examination of the Missouri portion of the expedition through a series of twenty-seven maps developed by combining early-nineteenth-century U.S. General Land Office (GLO) survey documents with narratives of the trip derived from expedition journals. The maps are impeccable. The twenty-seven map platesincluding twenty-three of the traveled route and four of the river corridor's historic vegetative land coverdepict the expedition's course and offer the first accurate rendering of travel distances and campsites. Some maps locate the campsites in relation to present-day landmarks. Journal descriptions accompany the map plates, which also include old geographic names; historical hydrography; contemporary towns, settlements, and forts; Indian campsites and villages; and territorial land grants from the French and Spanish governments. Geographers and historians will be fascinated by the maps' level of detail, especially the charting of the present course of the rivers alongside that of the early 1800s to show the landscape changes caused by the powerful waters of the Mississippi and Missouri.

79. Mapping The Environment: Improving Middle School Education With GIS The missouri Botanical Garden s Mapping the Environment program formally began in the summer of 1999 with geography map reading and spatial analysis http://gis.esri.com/library/userconf/proc01/professional/papers/pap122/p122.htm

Mapping the Environment: Improving Middle School Education with GIS Dr. Bob Coulter Mapping the Environment is a program based at the Litzsinger Road Ecology Center and the Missouri Botanical Garden. Strategically placed to help teachers meet state and national standards in science, math, geography, and technology, this program involves 3500 middle school students across Missouri in collaborative investigations of their environment. ArcView GIS is used to support students' analysis of data in comparison to data collected by others locally (and where appropriate), nationally and globally. Teacher training, curriculum development, and field work with students all contribute to the success of the program. First Steps (1999-2000): The Missouri Botanical Garden's "Mapping the Environment" program formally began in the summer of 1999 with an intensive two-week professional development workshop for middle school teachers. Teachers learned techniques of chemical and biological water monitoring and developed skills in the use of ArcView GIS to analyze their data. In the ensuing school year, each teacher initiated an ongoing monitoring effort at a stream site near his or her school. In all, approximately 1,000 students participated in this first phase of the project. While many school groups monitor local water quality, the addition of the GIS component added significant dimensions to the project. In terms of scientific literacy, participating students engaged in ongoing investigations of a watershed, not simply their local water quality. This enlarged perspective enabled students to place their data in a larger context offered through use of the data reported by peers in other schools. In addition, the use of map layers such as land use patterns and the location of known discharge sites in the watershed promoted much deeper spatial analysis of the water quality data. Through this process, students developed an appreciation of the interconnectedness of ecological phenomena. In a very literal sense, they came to understand that what happens locally affects everything downstream.
