The Atlas of the Biosphere brings environmental information to the widest possible audience. Although specifically designed for high school and university students and teachers, anyone can benefit from a stroll through this online collection. The maps section contains geographically explicit data broken down into four general categories: humans, land use, ecosystems, and water resources. The schematics section looks at the various resource flows and pools that make up individual earth systems. The collection was developed and is maintained by the Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment (SAGE), UW–Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies.
