Getting scientific with Google Earth
As part of Google's ongoing mission to make information more readily available we recently collaborated with the University of Colorado, Boulder to hold an event for scientists and researchers in the area. The event focused on finding ways to use KML and Google Earth to display and communicate scientific research with policy makers, students, and the public.

The event was hosted by the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics as part of the Electronic Geophysical Year program. Learn More

Saturn's Auroras
