MILANKOVITCH
CYCLES: This image of the solar
system is wallpaper from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/wallpaper/solarsystem.cfm).
The planets are in order but their relative sizes and their
orbital distances from the Sun are not to scale. A radar image of Venus was
selected to show surface features; Venus is actually covered by dense clouds. A
comet heads toward the inner solar system; its glowing tail is the result
of heating by the Sun. The photograph on "Astronomical Time for Earth History" is of the Vocontian Basin, courtesy of Alfred G. Fischer (USC).
POLAR CLIMATES: The main photograph is from Greenland Guides (http://www.greenland-guide.gl/ice_snow.htm). Tim Naish (New Zealand) captured the NSF ANDRILL photograph in Antarctica.
THE CHRONOS
NETWORK: This is my personal
interpretation of the CHRONOS Network project logo (http://www.chronos.org). The significance of
the logo is still under advisement.
THE LATEMAR
CONTROVERSY: This original
photograph, courtesy of Nereo Preto (University of Padua), is of the Latemar
Massif in the Dolomites, Northern Italy, which stands over 2900 meters high,
here dusted by a summer snowstorm.
CHESAPEAKE BAY: The Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) is a
federally administered partnership that oversees the restoration of the
Chesapeake Bay. CBP partners include the States of Maryland, Pennsylvania and
Virginia, the District of Columbia, the Chesapeake Bay Commission, the EPA, and
citizen advisory groups. This photo is from the CBP gallery (http://www.chesapeakebay.net/photos.cfm).
