Description:

Everglades Explorer is a library, archive and research service with customized search engines. Everglades Explorer's mission is to provide easier location of quality and specific information, and improve quick access to data, publications and maps buried or scattered across the shallow and deep web. The portal also provides records, links and archives connecting directly to video, sound recordings, pamphlets, books, photos, art, curriculum material, government reports, theses and dissertations, scientific data sets, and more.

Everglades Explorer makes use of :

1) An open source discovery system (eXtensible Catalog) collecting and housing thick metadata in MARCXML and Dublin Core linking directly to diverse academic digital resources;

2) The Internet Archive, collecting and linking searchers to Everglades related documents, reports and other resources in .pdf and media formats, mostly harvested from government and non-government organizations(NGO).

3) A targeted Google API searching across thin Everglades metadata and real-time Content Management System (CMS) websites of partners, and other select organizations and government agencies.

Title: Hydrology of Southeast Florida and Associated Topics

URL: http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED099225.pdf

Collection: Everglades Explorer -- EAPRA (Assorted PDF & Report Archive)

Description: This booklet deals with the hydrology of southeastern Florida. It is designed to provide the citizen, teacher, or student with hydrological information, to promote an understanding of water resources, and to initiate conservation practices within Florida communities. The collection of articles within the booklet deal with Florida water resources and Florida water problems, but much of the information is applicable to other areas. Topics such as the hydrologic cycle, ground water aquifers, water resources and demands, water quality, the Everglades, and water-life are covered, accompanied by maps, diagrams, tables, and illustrations. The articles are written by various people--engineers, environmentalists, researchers--or are excerpts from publications or speeches and present different viewpoints on controversial issues. A brief historical overview of the hydrology of Florida, a glossary, and reference list are also included. (TK)

URL: http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED347083.pdf

Collection: Everglades Explorer -- EAPRA (Assorted PDF & Report Archive)

Description: Everglades National Park is recognized as one of the most threatened National Parks in the country. Human and technological intervention has affected the park's water resources, fauna and flora through the introduction of foreign species. This curriculum-based activity guide is intended for intermediate grade students. It has been designed from a myriad of educational activities mutually created by classroom teachers and park staff, and used in the park's Environmental Education program. It is designed to meet the needs of teachers and students who may never visit the park as well as for on-site lessons about the everglades ecosystem. The document presents the following: (1) four activities to introduce students to the purpose of the National Park System, and basic concepts associated with the Everglades ecosystem; (2) six activities that introduce components of the ecosystem, the interrelation of these components, and recommendations for future use of the environment that will impact these components; (3) seven activities that focus on the importance of plants and trees in the Everglades, and an evaluation scheme concerning future human impact upon them; (4) 12 activities that focus on the wildlife of the Everglades food chains; (5) eight activities involving the issues of timing, quantity, quality, and distribution of water resources in the Everglades; and (6) a series of appendices that provide background information for the activities, supplementary activities, songs, a vocabulary of common Everglade and ecological terms, and a list of resource materials and bibliography. Each lesson plan begins with a section containing pertinent subject areas, length of activity, location, and key vocabulary. This section is followed by instructional objectives and methods, background information, materials, procedures, and an evaluation section. (MCO)
