Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE)
(26.580 recursos)
The Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE) is a grassroots, community-based effort involving teachers, students, and scientists working together to create a library of educational resources and services to support Earth system science education. DLESE supports Earth system science education by providing access to high-quality collections of educational resources; access to Earth data sets and imagery; support services to help educators and learners effectively create, use, and share educational resources; and communication networks to facilitate interactions and collaborations across all dimensions of Earth system education.

Visible Image of Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico
This image shows the well-developed eye and eyewall of Hurricane Katrina on August 28, 2005 before it made landfall on the U.S. Gulf Coast near New Orleans. When this image was captured, the hurricane was at peak strength, a category 5 storm with winds near 175 miles per hour and was 18 hours from impacting the coast. Because of the strong eye, the ocean surface can be seen through the eye of the hurricane. This visual spectrum image was captured by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) GOES-12 weather satellite.
