Both links duly added to favourites. Now, anybody go similar stuff on Asia?

Hi,

Here is a (very large) world vegetation map:


[URL=http://www.geog.umd.edu/landcover/8km-map/p7fullres.html]http://www.geog.umd.edu/landcover/8km-map/p7fullres.html[/URL]

It is again present day but should be helpful.

I also found an online scan of a 1922 atlas world vegetation map. I copied the part covering most of Asia and uploaded it to my personal website. Here it is:

This map is pre-satellite so I would say that it's accuracy would be a bit suspect in parts. In particular, I doubt that the centre of Borneo and Sumatra are 'woodland, grass and cultivation'. But it might help as well.

By the way I am happy to help with any map making tasks if that would help...

Once again, very helpful. Thanks again!

Supervisor -> Earth photos (4/26/2002 9:43:08 AM)

A little late, but here is a site that I posted in another forum which has satellite photos of earth (sans clouds). Just FYI (if you haven't seen the other).

Supervisor -> Example of satellite pics (4/26/2002 10:02:39 AM)

Here's an example of what the pictures are like. This is a portion of a 8192w x 4096h .tif file at full resolution (saved as jpg). There are even higher resolutions available but the demand is currently high and you have to get permission at this time. This is as much of Australia (almost entire) that I was able to get while selecting 1024x768.

(I tried to edit my previous post and add the attachment, but I didn't see how. Still new at this.)
