I’m not sure where I originally found this, but its been listed as an unpublished entry on another blog of mine.

Census of Marine Life:

This site:

The Census of Marine Life is a growing global network of researchers in more than 70 nations engaged in a ten-year initiative to assess and explain the diversity, distribution, and abundance of marine life in the oceans — past, present, and future.

The Christian Science Monitor article, “Beyond and Below the Blue Horizon“, reviews two exploration areas – space and ocean.

Its always interesting to explore the similarities and differences in approach to exploration. Regardless of desitination, both sites are packed with excellent educaitonal resources and multimedia:

NASA: Project Constellation – http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/constellation_front/index.html
NOAA: Ocean Explorer – http://www.oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/.

From a Geoscience perspective, the NOAA site holds more allure…

Each of exploration zone website provides background geology information. I especially like the “Ring of Fire” information. Rich, rich data and information provided.
