Subject: Further Reading

Further Reading

 Is there a good general introduction to Remote Sensing on the Net?

  The CIESIN Thematic Guide to Remote Sensing is an excellent
  introduction at http://www.ciesin.org/TG/RS/RS-home.html

  CCRS have a beautiful set of annotated images (of Canada) on their
  pages, at http://www.ccrs.nrcan.gc.ca/ccrs/tour/toure.html. This
  presents a number of images - chiefly Landsat and SPOT - together with
  explanations of what can be seen in them, and why particular features
  appear the way they do.

Subject: I have a question that isn't covered in the FAQ

 I have a question that isn't covered in the FAQ

   1. Look in the CEOS IDN. This is the authoritative worldwide
      information system that answers every possible question about
      Satellite Earth Observation. The IDN has three coordinating nodes,
      each carrying the complete directory:

       America
               The Global Change Master Directory is accessible by WWW
               at http://gcmd.gsfc.nasa.gov/ or by telnet to
               gcmd.gsfc.nasa.gov (login as "gcdir").

       Europe
               The IDN is available via Hyper-G or WWW via Esrin's GDS
               at http://gds.esrin.esa.it/CCEOS-IDN or by telnet to
               epocat.esrin.esa.it (login as "esapid").

       Asia
               The IDN is available from NASDA at
               http://www.eoc.nasda.go.jp/guide/eus/index.html, or by
               telnet to nsaeoc.eoc.nasda.go.jp

   2. Look in Esrin's GDS (URL below). Supports browsing, or keyword
      search types of access.
   3. Look in USGS's www-glis (URL below). A major source of detailed
      information.

 LISTSERV and discussion lists via e-mail only

  A word on Listservs:

  A Listserv is a mailing list. When you are subscribed, you receive all
  messages posted to the list, until and unless you unsubscribe.
  Likewise, when you post a message to the list, it is recieved by all
  list subscribers.

  To (un)subscribe to a list, send an email to the address given, with
  the single line:
(un)subscribe listname your-full-name

  where 'listname' is the part of the posting address to the left of the
  "@".

  Please do NOT post subscribe/unsubscribe requests to the lists. It
  _won't_ have the desired effect, but it _will_ irritate list members.

  Messages should be on subjects appropriate to the list. Inappropriate
  messages, and particularly advertisements, will generate nothing but
  ill-will. On the other hand, don't be shy to ask something just
  because "this may be a stupid question...". The largest volume of
  stupid messages typically comprises attempts to subscribe or
  unsubscribe.

  A common source of minor annoyance on Lists arises when a perfectly
  good but perhaps rather narrow/technical question has been asked, and
  answers are posted. The answer may be exactly what the questioner
  wanted, but of little or no general interest to other readers. Many
  such answers are unintentionally posted, because that's what happens
  when you simply "reply" to a message (unless the author of the
  original message has explicitly set a Reply-to: line in the header).

       Address to SUBSCRIBE            Address to POST TO THE LIST

    * WXSAT-L
      This list serves two functions. The primary function is the
      distribution of NOAA status and prediction bulletins for the GOES
      and polar weather satellites. This data is the same data available
      via SCIENCEnet NOAA.SAT bulletin board area. The mail list also
      acts as a reflector for subscribers' comments and discussion of
      matters related to weather satellites, ground stations, and
      associated topics.
      Contact: [email protected] (Richard B. Emerson)
    * IMAGRS-L
      Digital Image Processing of Remotely Sensed Data
      The area of digital image processing of remotelly sensed data
      should be the main topic of this club - so exactly the problems of
      the interest are the methods of digital image processing for
      remotelly sensed data (like LANDSAT or SPOT) as well as microwave
      and also new types of data for remote sensing the Earth or other
      objects. Also computer problems with these very time demanding
      methods can interesting including visualization, paralel computing
      etc.
      Subscriptions should go to [email protected]
      Send a message with the following body:
      SUBSCRIBE IMAGRS-L _add_your_full_name_here_
    * AFRICA-EIS rg
      Another African GIS discussion group.
      Contributions should go to: [email protected]
      Subscriptions and commands: [email protected]
      The first line of the message should read:

 Terminology and Acronyms

  I used to have a list of acronyms here, and the intention of merging
  with other lists when I could find the time. Then I realised that it's
  been done by others - better than I'm ever likely to! So here instead
  is where you get CCRS's extensive glossary:
