The following page will seek to help you navigate your way through the world of the environmental sciences. I have tried to provide useful and authoritative resources to aid in your studies. The page will be divided into the following sections: Government Research Sites, Help With Coursework and Other Educational Resources, Societies and Institutes, Fun Sites, and Web Directories.
I hope you find these useful and as always if you have any comments or questions feel free to contact me at schudnick@brookdalecc.edu
Sandy Hook Environmental and Earth Sciences Field Station -- This site describes all the cool programs Brookdale runs out at our Field Station at Sandy Hook by the sea.
Especially useful as a reference source is the Encyclopedia of Earth which is about the Earth, its natural environments, and their interaction with society. It is a free, fully searchable collection of articles written by scholars, professionals, educators, and experts who collaborate and review each other's work: like Wikipedia only publishing rights are restricted to acknowledged experts in their fields.
