It's not two photos stitched together, and it's not an installation. This red line is the stain of toxic sludge.
This is a great issue that highlights the human-environmental interactions theme. In 2011, this site in Hungary witnessed a horrific toxic sludge spill at an aluminum oxide plant that literally created a toxic mudslide.

ScreenFlow is my favourite screencasting software tool and the one that I use to make all the video tutorials for my Tech Tools for Teachers series on OneStopEnglish and for the award winning Blended Learning in ELT course I designed for Bell. I'm now using it to create iPad tutorials and it works really well.

Adapted from the book by Professor Susan Hanson...
This is an excellent review/summary of an edited volume that shows the value of geographic thought and its importance in the modern world. This review conveniently gives a one paragraph synopsis of each chapter. It does not need to be read chronologically, so you can pick and choose what you find relevant to your course. The top 10 are (in order of inclusion in the book): the Idea of the Map, the Weather Map, GIS, Human Adjustment, Water Budget Climatology, Human Transformation of the Earth, Spatial Organization and Interdependence, Central Place Theory, Megalopolis and Sense of Place.

Coal, steel, gold, iron, copper, aluminum and oil are all incredibly important commodities. Agricultural products such as rice, cotton, corn, wheat and coffee all travel far beyond their area of origin. Where do these resources come from? How are they produced?

By 2025, the developing world will be home to 29 megacities.
Through this interactive mapping feature with rich call-out boxes, the reader can explore the latest UN estimates and forecasts on the growth of megacities (urban areas with over 10 million residents). These 'cities on steroids' have been growing tremendously since the 1950s and present a unique set of geographic challenges and opportunities for their residents.

After cutting a destructive path through the Caribbean, Hurricane Sandy caused extensive damage along the East Coast this week.
While the damage wasn't as bad as many feared it could have been, place and spatial context are especially important in assessing the impacts of a natural disaster. This is a excellent collection of the many devastating images as a result of Hurricane Sandy. To see some more local images, Rhode Island Department of Transportation put this collection together.

I am speechless, these images have just torn my heart. Here in Providence, Rhode Island listened to multiple people say "oh this storm was nothing" they apparently need to view these photos, to understand Sandy was a monster of a storm. Mother nature is powerful and she can do just about anything. I am so mind boggled by the images, roads completely torn apart I never knew this could happen from a hurricane. It really made me appreciate how safe I was but now seeing these images really makes me want to get out there and tell more people to look at what happened in NJ,CT,NYC, and other places around the coast. My next step now is to get a donation bin started to send over to those states in major need. This is sure another natural disaster to go down in history.

A American Library Association considera que os bibliotecários e educadores são normalmente mais conservadores do que o necessário na tomada de decisões sobre o "uso justo" de materiais, pois têm medo de estarem a violar a lei.

E o que dizer quando os próprios professores criam materiais? Quem tem direitos sobre o quê?

Há tantas redes perdidas no mar, gaiolas, bóias e bidões de gasóleo...
Em 2011 a quantidade de resíduos capturados acidentalmente (resíduos apahados em redes depois de um dia comum de pesca) foi tal que, em França, o sector de reciclagem de plásticos pagou no ano passado 375€ por tonelada de recolha de plástico, tendo recebido 1000 toneladas (na lota portuguesa paga-se em média 1500 euros por tonelada de pescado com escamas e guelras).
O projecto-piloto "European Waste Free Oceans Project" paga aos pescadores para retirarem resíduos de plástico do mar nas suas horas vagas. Em Nice, França, criou-se uma rede de pesca inventada de propósito para o efeito.
