	Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space Science Exhibits. These exhibits include the EOS Earth Systems Research exhibit and the EOS Solar Science exhibit. These exhibits contain maps, photos, satellite imagery, and dioramas which focus on earth systems science and environmental change from the depths of the oceans to the heights of the continents, to the limits of space.

	3 1/2 Foot Diameter Satellite Image Globe of the World This globe built at the University of New Hampshire Laboratory for Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis features beautiful NASA MODIS and NOAA AVHRR satellite imagery. This imagery is so clear that you can see individual glaciers in Antarctica and some reefs below the oceans.

	9-Foot Satellite Image Map of the World This true color NASA Blue Marble MODIS composite satellite image map of the world shows us a unique perspective of our world as never seen in previous decades. The construction of this high resolution, fine detail satellite map of the world was made possible only in recent years because of advances in satellite imaging technologies and advances in computer storage and processing power.

	Hands on GIS/RS Technology Tour This year's GIS Day 2006 events will feature hands on tours of Complex Systems Research Center's Laboratory for Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis where everyone will be given an opportunity to try their hand at GIS and digital mapping.
