Scripps Institution of Oceanography
Steve Diggs will present some examples of Google Earth applications, discuss how they were developed, and how Google Earth can be used to showcase your research. Scripps is working to have its own layer within Google Earth.
Google Earth is a free software application that lets you fly anywhere on Earth to view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, 3D buildings, from galaxies in outer space to the canyons of the ocean. You can explore rich geographical content, save your toured places, and share with others. It can be downloaded from: http://earth.google.com/
Take some time to explore Google Earth before coming to the meeting. The Google Earth User Guide is a great place to start learning:

You can find some simple how to tutorials at Google Earth Lessons
