Landscape Ecology and GIS

The two questions that colleagues in my department ask me the most often are probably "Where can I find data for x?" and "What application should I use or how do I use it to conduct my analysis?". A regular recurrence of the same question is usually a good indication that some of the information isn't readily available. In an effort to help correct this information deficiency, I have begun compiling a list of resources that I frequently consult personally or recommend to others about GIS and remote sensing. Here is my current collection of links to information about techniques and tools used in the implementation of landscape ecology.

Science and Ecology

The articles in this collection pertain primarily to my formal research interests, which is ecology. I have also opted to include more general topics, such as basic logic, and information on other disciplines. The table of links below lists sites with information on major global environmental issues that may be of interest to both non-scientists and scientists in other disciplines. For resources pertaining more directly to Landscape Ecology and GIS, refer to the article by that name. I have attempted to group the links below based on the general topics they pertain to.

Online Birding Checklist

After searching in vain for an on-line birding check-list application, I decided to build my own. I have already finished building the MySQL data tables; I am now working on the PHP interface to them. Once I have it working, this tool will be available for free to anyone. Unfortunately, this is strictly a personal project, so progress on it is rather slow.
