The Museum of Paleontology at U.C. Berkeley, CA

Many people think paleontology is the study of fossils. In fact, paleontology is much more. Paleontology incorporates many different kinds of data from different fields. We provide three different areas to start your exploration of paleontology: Phylogeny -- the "family tree" of life; Geological Time -- the temporal existence of groups of organisms; Evolutionary Thought -- evolutionary topics and scientists in their historical context.

Virtual Field Trip to Hawaii
[http://www.satlab.hawaii.edu/space/hawaii/virtual.field.trips.html]
This part of Virtually Hawaii provides what we call "Virtual Field Trips", which take you on different tours around the islands. The objective is to show you parts of Hawaii from space and the air, and then to show you ground photos of points of interest. While these trips have a strong geology flavor (the Virtually Hawaii Team has many geologists as members), we hope these tours will be used by educators at grade schools and community colleges for a variety of other types of projects. We have also found that many of our visitors who sign our Guest Book find these Virtual Field Trips to be useful in planning vacations in Hawaii.
