| Collection Name: | DLESE: Digital Library for Earth System Education
|
|---|
| Collection Description: | DLESE's mission is to improve the quality, quantity, and efficiency of teaching and learning about the Earth System, by developing, managing, and providing access to high-quality educational resources and supporting services through a community-based, distributed digital library. Intended users include students, educators and citizens of all ages, in both formal and informal learning environments. The collection favors resources that convey linkages and connections; the general with the specific, theory with evidence, global with local, and that demonstrate the application of science to solving real world problems. This includes providing access to Earth data sets and imagery, and the tools and interfaces that enable their effective use. DLESE resources are community-contributed, by individuals, organizations, and formal collection efforts. |

| Resource Title: | Living Planet: CryoSat
|
|---|
| Description: | This is an overview of the CryoSat program, a three-year radar altimetry mission by the European Space Agency (ESA), scheduled for launch in September 2005. The mission will measure variations in the thickness of the Earth's continental ice sheets and marine ice cover in an effort to determine whether arctic ice is thinning due to global warming. Topics include an introduction to the mission, news articles, science objectives, data products, and links to CryoSat publications. |
