Public Land for Sale Produced for the Sierra Club,
these two KMZs illustrate the threat to America's forestry heritage. The use
of polygons and lines to show boundaries has been used extensively here
to represent those areas under threat.
Marine Protected Areas The coastline of California is known for its spectacular scenery and
diverse marine life. In this file, explore California's landmark, ocean
conservation legacy, a newly-created network of marine protected areas.
View this network of 29 marine protected areas, covering 200 square
miles between Santa Barbara and San Francisco. View fact sheets for
each protected area that describes the unique ecological value of the
site, including aerial and underwater photos and video of vibrant but
fragile wildlife and ecosystems.
Industrial Pollutants With new information on chemical releases and transfers from Mexican
industrial sources now available to the public, we created the
first seamless, North America-wide map layer connecting citizens with
point-specific industrial pollutant data in Canada, Mexico, and the
United States--one of the first and only KMLs to be published in multiple languages.
America's Legacy All across America, communities are working to protect our public lands
from threats like oil and gas drilling, unchecked development,
irresponsible recreation, logging, and global warming. In order to save
what remains of our nation's wild legacy, the Sierra Club has launched
a campaign to protect 52 of our most exceptional places--one in
every state, plus Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia--over the
next 10 years.
Iowa Caucus 2008 With
the Iowa Caucus kicking off such an important primary election season, and with the results catching everyone's attention, I stayed up late that
night and put together this KMZ. The data is great and I think it is very interesting to visualize spatially. Hopefully it will motivate others to do
similar projects. I wanted to be able to see the results in each
county and how these compared to the state as well as to the "Other"
party.
