I got this file of hurricane tracks from Prof. Brian McAdoo, so I'm not sure of the original source. He describes it to students as looking like a "hairball." I do know that the number of tracks exceeds 37,000.

This is a tour of the Yangtze River. It's a work in progress that I wanted to get done before a talk. I didn't quite make it. But I've created a "tour" of the river by placing placemarks along the bends in the river. The blue lines are the Yangtze and the Huang He rivers and they came from an ESRI shapefile; they're very coarse.

Jan 19, 2007: I took the KML off of here because it wasn't what I wanted it to be. I will work on it and upload it when it's 'done.'

This is a tour of Korea with placemarks of interest. Created by Prof. Yu Zhou, Jan 19, 2007.

This is a tour of Japan created by Prof. Yu Zhou, Jan 19, 2007

This is a tour of the Yangtze River in China and various places along the river with higher resolution photographs. Created by Prof. Yu Zhou, Jan 19, 2007.

This is a KMZ of some flat maps of Budapest . This file is over 25MB, so I've stored it on my own server space. It's huge because I didn't want to lose the detail when I scanned the maps. Hope this works on this site.

I made another similar one for Prague and will make one for Berlin.

This set of placemarks combines a few that were created by Prof. Yu Zhou. Some modifications of existing tours (for the Yangtze River in China, Korea, and Japan) were incorporarated into this final version. These modifications and the tour itself was created by Yu Zhou Jan 25, 2007.

This is a KMZ of two old maps of Prague (1743 and 1895). The sources for the maps is listed for both of the map layers. This was created for Prof. Marc Michael Epstein on Jan 29, 2007.

This is a KMZ of some flat maps of Berlin . Somehow I managed to make this KMZ much smaller than those for Prague and Budapest. I used an older version of Photoshop and could save to all manner of file formats; that was a plus.

As indicated, I made another similar KMZs for Budapest and Prague but you'll need to grab it from my server space..
