The NASA home page is the launch pad to the numerous Web sites maintained by individual departments.
National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) From Earth�s center to the edge of the atmosphere and beyond, this web site of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration offers it all. The NGDC manages environmental data in the fields of solar-terrestrial physics, solid earth geophysics, marine geology and geophysics, paleoclimatology and glaciology. This site presents not so much Earth observed from space, as the JSC and ASTR sites do, as it does beautiful maps and computer simulations of data about our planet. The Marine Geology and Geophysics section contains new maps of the topography of the ocean floor with detail never seen before.
