Nature on Google Earth

Or is that Google Earth, on Nature?

Nature's Nascent blog reports                              

Nature's own Declan Butler reports on a great collection of articles that he helped to put together:

This week's issue contains several pieces on virtual globes, and all are on free access. I've written a three-page feature — Virtual globes: The web-wide world — on the various ways scientists are beginning to use virtual globes, such as Google Earth and Nasa's World Wind.

I discuss the feature in an accompanying podcast.

...

There is also a two-page Commentary — “Mapping disaster zones” — on the use of Google Earth in humanitarian disasters.

...

Nature itself has its lead editorial — Think Global

...

I also collected an extensive collection of bookmarks to various great resources on GIS, science, and virtual globes during the research; I will upload all of these to my GIS tag on Connotea

I've been tracking these sorts of things in my blog Mapping category.  (If you want science-specific mapping, you'll have to intersect the science and mapping categories, which currently Typepad can't do for you.) 

For my bookmarks, check http://www.furl.net/members/rakerman/Mapping
(I don't know if you can intersect categories in Furl, anyone?)
