Mercetar Map (Example Map)

This Universal Transverse Mercator projection map has a 3-D look to it making it much more effective in representing data than just laying it out in a flat map.

Natural Surface Map (Example Map)

Natural surface maps can be a great method for illustrating a concept that is not normally visible. Data from a pair of satellites were used to make this map showing subtle changes in the Earth's gravitational fields.

Reason for Chosing My Three Links!

I chose the nga.mil and usgs.gov websites as links on my blogger web page because both sites provide alot of information concerning federal job opportunities. The USGS site is a little more difficult to use when looking for student jobs compared to the NGA site but, it is my favorite because USGS is where I would like to work.
I included the NASA site because it contains astronomy pictures for everyday of the month going back several years. I have a telescope at home and love looking at the stars.
