Welcome to the Atlas of the Biosphere

The idea behind this website is simple: gather as much information about the environment as possible, and deliver it to as many people as possible. We are dedicated to bringing environmental information to the widest possible audience. Although we specifically target high school to university students and teachers, anyone can benefit from a stroll through our collection.

To begin looking through our information, select either maps or schematics from the top menu system. The Maps section contains geographically explicit data broken down into four general categories: Humans, Land Use, Ecosystems, and Water Resources. Follow the menus to reach your dataset of interest. The Schematics section looks at the various resource flows and pools that make up individual Earth systems.
