Ash - The solid residue that remains after a fuel or solid waste has been burned. Biodegradable - Waste material, which is capable of being broken down, usually by bacteria, into basic elements. Most organic wastes, such as food and paper,are biodegradable. Earth Exploration Toolbook. Awarded Science Magazine's Science Prize for Online Resources in Education (SPORE), September 30, 2011 AAAS Press Release What is the Earth Exploration Toolbook?
Developed by teams of scientists and educators, the Earth Exploration Toolbook (EET) is a collection of online Earth system science activities. Each activity, or chapter, introduces one or more scientific data sets and analysis tools that enables users to explore some aspect of the Earth system. Project Noah. The Water Cycle.

The ice averages one and a half miles in thickness, with the thickest ice being almost three miles thick. Antarctica's ice is so heavy that it compresses the land surface over much of the continent to below sea level. Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research) » Antarctic Education. Antarctica weblinks.

Association of Polar Early Career Scientists During the International Polar Year 2009-2010, four young polar scientists from APECS (Association of Polar Early Career Scientists) set out to prove that it was possible for scientists to communicate research results & conclusions through self-made multimedia animations.
This initiative was supported by D. Carlson, Director of the IPY International Programme Office. Six months after their initial meeting, each of them had created at least one short animation related to their specific research interests, and had developed reliable ways to share their products.

The nationwide trend of fewer students choosing careers in science makes it essential that we engage students through new and innovative efforts. ESI is leading the way in those efforts through programs such as our Hot Science – Cool Talks Outreach Series, educational mini-sites and environmental guides – all of which are designed to help the students and the community connect with environmental sciences in new and fruitful ways. ESI also offers a YouTube Channel with videos featuring leading scientists discussing current issues in environmental science. ESI also works to provide teachers with innovative opportunities and inquiry-based resources that help bring the latest in science into the K-12 classroom. NOAA: Ocean Explorer.

Editor's Note: We first started work on this web site back in 1995 when the web was still a new thing. In thinking of all the "futuristic" features of all sorts that we had been tasked to includ in it, we jokingly named it Weather World (perhaps after Disney World, or maybe Wally World in the Chevy Chase film). We started to add "2000" to that as was popular at the time for future looking products, but decided that it was too close, and bumped the number up to 2010. Windows to the Universe.
