Pictures of these rare sandbars that extend to a nearshore island.
Coastal physical geography produces beautiful landforms...these tombolos (some famous like Mont St. Michel) provide visual examples of numerous geomorphological processes.

Who says you can't integrate geography and real world applications into the math curriculum? Paul Bouke has scoured the Earth searching for fractals in the natural environment and created this amazingly artistic remote sensing gallery (with KMZ files for viewing in Google Earth as well). Tags: Remote sensing, art, math, google, physical, landforms, geomorphology.

Thanks for sharing so many great link on FB and have been able to use several. I'm glad that the sharing can go in both directions.

Seth - I am hardly worthy of YOUR currating! Hope to meet you in person at NCGE and get a picture of us for Facebook. :-)

This is so beautiful. Fractals are an amazing phenomenon, whether you are an artist, geographer, or mathematician. I love being able to see fractals in plants or feel them as air travels through my lungs.

"Real World Math: Using Google Earth in the Math Curriculum." Back to my interdisciplinary approach to strengthening geographic education, image hearing that there is a Math teacher at your school using this, wouldn't you want to be a part of it? Too often knowledge is taught within disciplinary silos; students need opportunities to make real world connections between the disciplines to breath life into how they are taught. This site reminds me of http://www.googlelittrips.org/ which allows real world geography to be a part of literature/English classes. Delete the scoop?
