Global land cover is one of the essential terrestrial baseline datasets available for ecosystem modeling, however uncertainty remains an issue. Tools such as Google Earth offer enormous potential for land cover validation. With an ever increasing amount of very fine spatial resolution images (up to 50 cm × 50 cm) available on Google Earth, it is becoming possible for every Internet user (includ...

Several glacier-like landforms have been identified on Mars. We can view some of them with Google Earth and its virtual Mars planet. In the images of Ismeniae Fossae glaciers, the flow lines of these landforms are clearly visible too.
