Sources of remote sensing data:

   OSUView - an OhioView site at The Ohio State University. Check out OhioView for images of Ohio. Use the Landsat-7 image server to download images of Ohio. Also, on Region 1 - map your PC to the network drive: \\Gentle\CERS. You'll see the various datasets available for Ohio.

    The TerraServer that contains maps and aerial photographs.

    USGS Earthshots that contain satellite images of environmental change.

    EarthExplorer at the USGS to look for satellite imagery, aerial photography and cartographic products.

    Global Visualization - GloVis - viewer at the USGS to look for satellite imagery around the world.

    Weather images from NOAA.

    Michigan State University (Great Lakes Forest Information Center) has a great archive of imagery over the Upper Great Lakes area (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan) for $25 a scene.

    Some small image (512 by 512) downloads that can be imported into Imagine and also used in a free software called MultiSpec.
