Links to some of the resources we used over the semester

General Information Sites

Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT) (you will likely have to create an account if you want to do a database search, but you can access the classification table and other information without an account at EM-DAT Disaster Classification System. They used to have a nice easy to read table but I have no idea where it is hiding now. Instead you have to click on sections in the Classification Glossary.)

earth :: a global map of wind, weather and ocean conditions

SentiVista – data from the Sentinel missions https://sentivista.copernicus.eu/

GPS/GNSS Station Data

GPS: The Global Positioning System A global public service brought to you by the U.S. government (operated and maintained by the U.S. Space Force and good grief does this site need help, even before everyone got laid off and they put up the ‘contents of this website have not been updated since February 2025 ‘ message)

UNAVCO GPS Velocity Viewer (allows users to view GPS vectors from around the world in a range of reference frames including the global IGS08 and many regional reference frames)

UNAVCO All Real-time Networks & Stations Monitoring (network monitoring (instrument state of health) information for all GAGE real-time GNSS/GPS networks)

Nevada Geodetic Laboratory (NGL) Plug and Play For Earth Science Portal (List of All GPS Stations Processed by NGL)

SONEL GLOBAL SEA LEVEL OBSERVING SYSTEM (GLOSS) https://www.sonel.org/-GLOSS,81-.html?lang=en
