Greener Earth Maps: Peruvian glacier
http://greenerearth.blogspot.com/2007/02/peruvian-glacier.html
Peruvian glacier may vanish in five years. When glaciologist Lonnie Thompson returns to Peru’s Qori Kalis glacier early this summer, he expects to find that half of the ice he saw during his visit there last year has vanished. What troubles him the most is his recent observations that suggest that the entire glacier may likely be gone within the next five years, providing possibly the clearest evidence so far of global climate change.

Greener Earth Maps: Costa Rican gold mine suspended
http://greenerearth.blogspot.com/2007/09/blog-post.html
Bellavista gold mine, Costa Rica. Putting an open-pit gold mine in a mountainous, tropical region prone to landslides and torrential rainfall is a disaster waiting to happen. Costa Rica outlawed all new open-pit mining in 2002, but the Bellavista mine was given a permit prior to the ban. It is the only operating large open-pit mine in this ecotourism-dependent country. High metals prices are driving a gold mining rush in other parts of Latin America. Tuesday, September 11, 2007.

Greener Earth Maps: Mapping clean water resources in Africa
http://greenerearth.blogspot.com/2007/02/blog-post_25.html
Back to main: Water sources. For the people of Kenya’s semiarid Samburu region, water is a precious commodity. People and livestock compete with wildlife for water, and in the dry season water sources can easily become contaminated. To address these issues, scientists at Earthwatch’s Samburu Field Center have compiled three years of data on the region’s water and other natural resources into a comprehensive Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database.
