These maps of Berlin are from 1798, 1812, and 1908. The individual image layers will tell you where I get the maps. Created for Prof. Marc Epstein on Feb 2, 2007.

This is a KML I put together after seeing some beautiful placemarks assembled by the Utah Geological Survey.
http://geology.utah.gov/google_earth/kml_kmz/ugs_geosights.kmz
My KML shows the section of the Hurricane fault in southwestern Utah that I mapped in 1993 with some annotations.

Here are some terrific examples of using Google Earth to help teach geoscience or geomorphology. I made this quickly and looked for examples only in the US but there must be beautiful locations all over the world suitable for teaching about concepts in the earth sciences.

These oil refineries are in Louisiana (Cancer Alley) and in New Jersey. This KML is to augment some lecture topics on carbon and oil.

There are three open pit mine locations here that I'll talk about in class: Morenci, AZ (copper), Lead, SD (gold), and Mirny, Russia (diamonds).

Placemarks of the locations from the volcano exercise from "Exploring Environmental Science with GIS." We're using Google Earth because the latest version of ArcExplorer does not read our DEMs for this exercise.

The Hyde Park KMLs were collected for a class taught by Prof. Brian McAdoo (http://computing.vassar.edu/news/faculty/facultyfocus/mcadoo.html). For each KML I used ArcMap 9.2 and the export to KML tool. This first one is bedrock geology.
