A Guide to Environmental Resources on the Internet by Carol Briggs-Erickson and Toni Murphy Version 2.0 Updated October, 1994 Welcome to A Guide to Environmental Resources on the Internet by Carol Briggs-Erickson and Toni Murphy. This is a guide to resources of an environmental nature which can be found on the Internet and was written to be used by researchers, environmentalists, teachers and any person who is interested in knowing and doing something about the health of our planet. The guide is arranged alphabetically by subject and then by the Internet tools used to locate those resources. It is not intended to be an instructional manual on the use of the tools, and the authors would recommend the books "The Whole Internet" by Ed Krol, "The Internet Companion" by Tracy LaQuey, or some of the guides that are available by anonymous ftp, such as "The Big Dummy's Guide to the Internet" (which is located at ftp>ftp.eff.org/pub/Net_info/Big_Dummy/bigdummy.txt) for learning the use of the tools. Access to this guide is available via the "Clearinghouse for Subject-Oriented Internet Resource Guides", a joint project of the University (of Michigan) Library and the School of Information and Library Studies.

Introduction This guide is arranged primarily by subject, but since there are a number of resources that reside within databases that are available to the public covering the whole scope of environmental concerns, and a number of agencies that deal with environmental standards and regulations, we decided to give these agencies and databases their own sections. We also found some resources that deal with the ecology of one geographic area. These were also put into a separate section. Everything else that we found, we felt could be placed under one or two subject headings except for the resources found in the many online catalogs available by gopher and telnet. Time constraints kept us from listing the catalogs by subject, but each catalog included contains at least 50 resources pertaining to three or more of our subject topics. We searched for our resources using gopher, telnet, archie, veronica, ftp, world wide web and wais. In the first version, we did not find much of relevance using World Wide Web subject entry points; nor were there a great number of wais documents. However, at this time there are many more World Wide Web sites and what we have found using www and wais is listed under each subject. Some of the files mentioned in this guide are in the GIF format. If you are not using Mosaic or other software that allows viewing of these image files, consult the following FAQ document on accessing software conversion programs.

Major environmental organizations and networks. 2.1 Consortium for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) Contains environmental policies, conference information, full text of world treaties, WAIS searchable environmental sources and unpublished scholarly papers. A good source for general issues; many of the documents are available from other Internet sources, e.g. EPA, UNCED. Audience: Primarily earth scientists, but contains resources of interest to environmentalists, researchers, and educators.
