About Earthzine.org

Earthzine is an on-line source for news, articles, information and educational materials about Earth Science, Earth observations and users of Earth information for the international Earth-observing community. Earthzine is updated regularly with news from around the world about the Earth, Earth observations, environmental policy, and new and emerging environmentally-friendly and earth-observing technologies.

Earthzine is a contribution of the IEEE Committee on Earth Observation (ICEO) in support of the Group on Earth Observations and its mission. GEO is an international organization with 81 Member States, the European Commission, and 58 Participating Organizations established to foster the international collaboration for Earth observations and utilization of Earth information.

On Earthzine, you will find materials that are inspirational to new and future Earth observers and that promote greater awareness of the Earth through its observation. Earthzine encourages interaction of an on-line community of Earth observers and fosters the scholarly debate in essay and blogging competitions. To learn more about Earthzine, our goal and objectives, please see our Strategic Plan.
