 GLOBAL
GIS -- The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
and The American Geological Institute (AGI)
announced a cooperative agreement that will focus on making the USGS
Global Geographic Information System (GIS) database readily available
to educators and the general public in the form of a DVD based world
atlas. The USGS Global GIS database contains a wealth of USGS and other
public domain data, including global coverages of elevation, landcover,
seismicity, and resources of minerals and energy at a nominal scale
of 1:1 million. The GIS, which will run on the included Environmental
Systems Research Institute's (ESRI)
ArcView Data Publisher software, are available
both by region on CD-ROM’s and on a single DVD-ROM. (Some of the regional CDs are no longer available.)
