This Oregon State University site offers in-depth information on groundwater including: human impacts, protection, contamination, regulations, agencies, community action, and community stewardship. Although some information, such as how the geology of Oregon affects groundwater, is specific to that state much of the information is transferable to other locations.

This set of cards highlights a different extremophile group (e.g. halophiles, thermophiles, acidophiles) with a photo of the environment they live in on the front of the card and then "stats" on the back of the card. Currently the cards are PDF's but will ultimately be printed as 2.5"x3.5" cards (in the spirit of baseball trading cards).

Researchers
have
identified
approximately
140
individual
impact
craters
on
Earth.
These
craters
probably
represent
only
about
25
percent
of
those
to
be
found.
Assuming
an
equal
rate
of
impact
around
the
globe,
many
more
craters
remain
to
be
discovered,
particularly
in
remote
land
regions
of
our
planet
and
in
the
oceans.
This
