This CD-ROM contains digital data files that were assembled or created from the 2002 Glenlyon component of the Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI) project. All data is provided in formats easily explored using widely available free softwares, which are distributed on this CD. Features of the CD include GIS spatial data of bedrock and surficial geology, generalized background topography and georeferenced geophysical and satellite raster images. Interactive map projects to allow viewing and querying of the spatial data using a variety of common GIS software (ArcExplorer 2.0, ArcView 3.x, ArcMap 8.x, and MapInfo) Databases of field observations (bedrock and surficial geology) Publications relevant to the study area, including open file maps, and a collection of reports from the Yukon Exploration and Geology (YEG) series A photo gallery to illustrate representative rock units and surficial geology features Free softwares (Adobe Acrobat Reader 5 and ESRI ArcExplorer 2) for viewing publications and interactive maps. Navigation to the features described above is through a user-friendly interface which launches upon loading of the CD. All features can also be accessed through Microsoft Explorer.

description: The data on this CD consist of geographic information system (GIS) coverages and tabular data on the geology of Early Proterozoic and Archean rocks in part of the Early Proterozoic Penokean orogeny. The map emphasizes metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks that were deposited along the southern margin of the Superior craton and were later deformed during continental collision at about 1850 Ma. The area includes the famous iron ranges of the south shore region of the Lake Superior district. Base maps, both as digital raster graphics (DRG) and digital line graphs (DLG) are also provided for the convenience of users. The map has been compiled from many individual studies, mostly by USGS researchers, completed during the past 50 years, including many detailed (1:24,000 scale) geologic maps. Data was compiled at 1:100,000 scale and preserves most of the details of source materials. This product is a preliminary release of the geologic map data bases during ongoing studies of the geology and metallogeny of the Penokean continental margin. Files are provided in three formats: Federal Spatial Data Transfer format (SDTS), Arc export format (.e00) files, and Arc coverages. All files can be accessed directly from the CD-ROM using either ARC/INFO 7.1.2 or later or Arc View 3.0 or later software. ESRI's Arc Explorer, a free GIS data viewer also provides display and querying capability for these files.; abstract: The data on this CD consist of geographic information system (GIS) coverages and tabular data on the geology of Early Proterozoic and Archean rocks in part of the Early Proterozoic Penokean orogeny.

Although amphibians perform key roles in their ecosystems and contribute significantly to biodiversity, especially in tropical habitats, they are frequently excluded from conservation analyses because of a lack of information about their conservation status and distribution. To enhance our knowledge about amphibians and their conservation needs, three organizations—the Center for Applied Biodiversity Science of Conservation International, the Species Survival Commission of IUCN–World Conservation Union, and NatureServe—launched the Global Amphibian Assessment (GAA) in 2001. The results, published in 2004, represent the first-ever comprehensive status assessment of the world's 5,743 known amphibian species. This project represents the first time that all amphibians have been assessed against the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria, and as such is an important contribution to the Red List Programme. More than 500 scientists from 60 countries contributed to the three-year study.

The GAA produced digital distribution maps for all but 101 of described amphibian species worldwide. The localities for unmapped species, generally including those described more than a century ago, are too vague to permit accurate mapping. NatureServe converted these maps to a format similar to that used for the digital range maps of the birds and mammals of the Western Hemisphere. Ranges are annotated to indicate where species are extant, extirpated, and introduced. In addition, NatureServe has updated dozens of maps of North American species subsequent to the original publication of the GAA.

Here we make these maps available as a free resource for conservationists, researchers, and the general public. To view the map for each species, visit either our InfoNatura or Explorer websites, or the GAA website, search for the species you are interested in, and click on "Range Map." To download the map files in ArcView format, see below. The map files can be viewed using ESRI ArcExplorer software, which can be downloaded for free from ESRI's website. Please contact ESRI, not NatureServe, for any support needs related to the software.

PROZA (PROgnose ZAanstad) is een databank met milieurelevante verkeersgegevens van wegen in Zaanstad en een beperkt aantal daar buiten. De 'PROZA'-databank is een set van binnen GIS (bijv. ArcView GIS, QGIS of ArcGIS Explorer) te raadplegen databestanden met RMG2006 en CAR relevante verkeersgegevens. De entiteit waarvoor deze verkeergegevens zijn opgeslagen is een wegvak, normaliter conform de definitie van het Nationaal Wegenbestand (NWB).
