The Natural Resources Canada agency has created a wonderful set of resources for curious visitors seeking to learn more about the earth sciences. The agency's formal scientific research work involves divisions such as the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing, the Geodetic Survey Division, the Geological Survey of Canada, and the National Air Photo Library. On the homepage, visitors can use the Earth Sciences Resources area to find data, maps, and tools for their own research or personal edification. The site's primary materials are divided into sections that include Climate Change, Energy and Minerals, Geography and Boundaries, Groundwater, and Natural Hazards. The Geography and Boundaries area is a real find, as it provides access to the impressive Atlas of Canada, which includes 393 interactive maps and over 1,000 referenced and archived maps on all aspects of Canadian geography. Visitors should check out the Products and Services area to learn more about the maps and image services offered here.
