The website accompanying the BBC Radio 4 series In Our Time, in which Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the history of ideas, has been redesigned, and the Archive section now makes every episode broadcast since the series began in 1998 available to listen to again via RealPlayer. Programmes are searchable by title, genre (culture, history, philosophy, religion, science) and by era, from prehistoric to 20th century. Recent programmes are available as podcasts, and an e-mail newsletter gives Melvyn Bragg’s personal insight into the latest programme.

This two minute MPEG animation features a flyby that starts in outer space, then plunges into the ocean reaching its deepest point and ends by leaving the earth’s atmosphere again. The high quality animation was created by NASA and has been broken up into seven small parts and can be downloaded using Real. The site is part of the Ocean Planet exhibit at the Smithsonian.

The Pacific Marine Environmental Agency in co-ordination with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, US Department of Commerce has been undertaking research on the geological and life sciences of volcanoes and hydrothermal vents across the world’s oceans. Remote controlled vehicles and submersibles have recorded footage. Other footage has been taken by the New Millennium Observatory (NeMO) an underwater observation centre at the site of the volcanic eruption of Axial Seamount off the Oregon coast. Videos includes the work of the researchers, the geological environment and the rare marine life of the area. A link to the NeMO website allows a virtual tour and ‘fly-through movie’ of the various research centres, making this an excellent site for the manipulation of interactive learning and assessment. The movies are available in a mixture of MPEG and QuickTime.

The large quantities of NASA satellite imagery placed here have been broken down into dozens of categories, from such broad areas as Agriculture, Atmosphere and Oceans to narrower items such as individual countries, cities and events like an eruption from Mount Etna for example. Whether they be straightforward stills or infrared images, the quality and resolution of the material (presented as JPEGs and TIFFs) is generally excellent, and all the stills are accompanied with details of their exact provenance and short essays exploring the individual images. The database can be searched using standard Boolean operators. The images are free to use and are considered to be Public Domain by NASA.

Formerly known as PSIgate (Physical Sciences Information Gateway), this site is the physical sciences hub of Intute (formerly known as the Resource Discovery Network or RDN). Intute became inactive in 2011 and the archived site was closed in December 2014. Here is presented an archive of the listings that are still available in the physical sciences: astronomy, chemistry, earth sciences, physics and general science.
