Okay how about this for starters?

Site - http://earthtrends.wri.org/

Comment - World Resources Institute website, brilliant for searchable databases on all aspects of geog - human and environmental mine of information. you can sign up for regular updates to be emailed to you.

Cool, checked it out and it looks good. Keep them coming

[Carreh]

Godammit!! I wish id been on here during my A levels. Lol

[Carreh]

(Original post by Geogger)
Never mind, you can now be a guru for the A/S and A2 students!

Cant remember a thing from A level! except how to colour in the lines as my geo teacher always said. Im doing volcanology and environmental hazards so I spose I could answer questions on that! The rest of my degree doesnt really belong anywhere. To save hijacking the thread ill add:

Relief Web - Great place if your building up certain natural disaster case studies

and this on volcanoes Volcano World

Oh and if people if you ever get a chance to go to Iceland (the country not the supermarket) go, tis AMAZING end of plug

[Carreh]

forgot the CIA Factbook! Id be lost without this site, Ive no idea where places are

[Dynamite]

Especially for you Geogger!

[HannahZ]

I just found this web site for westher and climate. It is very good for A level.

Anyone got a link for a NIC case study?

[Ellie4]

(Original post by Geogger)
What level of detail do you need? I've got stuff on Opportunities and Threats in NICs but it's not specific to one NIC

I need one specific to one of the 4 asian tigers really. Don't worry, I'll have a look in my textbooks

[Ellie4]

(Original post by Geogger)
Just sent it Ellie - should get through OK. Might clog up your inbox though!

I downloaded it, but Acrobat said it couldn't open it Hmm!

[Ellie4]

(Original post by Geogger)
It's Acrobat 6, shouldn't be a problem. Do you want me to try again?

I've just got it to work. Had to ask it to 'save' when I downloaded it rather than 'open'. Silly Ellie. Thanks very much Geogger!

Good Links for coral reefs! Hope it helps

www.ncl.ac.uk/tcmweb/tcm/crlinks.htm - coral reefs

[!Laxy!]

Whilst looking for bottem up projects i came across this great website. It has links to numerous other sites, and i have found it VERY useful:

http://geography.radley.org.uk/web_human.html

[Expression]

http://www.weatherbase.com/

Stats about the weather in every country across the world, down to specific weather stations at sites.


Used this website for my GCSE Statistics coursework 4 years ago, good to see it's still there.

[sleepyeba]

Just found:

http://www.geography-site.co.uk/

Free and has lots of good info - case studies, skills, methods, and pretty photos

[sleepyeba]

http://www.sciencecourseware.com/Vir...ver/index.html

Really good river stuff I found, the http://www.sciencecourseware.com/ site may have more gems but I haven't looked at the other areas.

Explains virtuals in rivers, the 6/10ths rule, really VITAL for river study coursework
If you want to skip the over-interactivity of having to do simple calculations, type in the url that shows up when you hover over the next button to skip being checked.
