Over the last couple of days I've been putting some data from the Natural Sciences division at the museum onto the shared community datasets for GoogleEarth. If you guys don't have it yet, GET IT!
- Why?
- Works cross-platforms
- Free
- Cool intuitive interface
- Interesting datasets from all over the world
- Doesn't cost anything
- 3D Flyovers of your house, or George Bush's, or whoevers
- GRATIS
Seriously. I am over the moon psyched on what is possible with this program. GET IT!
OK. There. I'm better.
So now that you've downloaded it, here is my first crack at sharing data and doing cool interesting things for the user:

Just visit this site and choose "Open this Placemark". Google Earth should input it right away and navigate you to my favorite archipelago.
Then just open the folders, like "Collections Localities" and double click on any of the locations. That'll take you right to where museum scientists collected some invasive species(s). WHich ones? Click on the link in the info bubble and find out.
