NOAA VIIRS Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) night lights data. Useful for mapping population, development, offshore fishing, forest fires, etc. Formerly called the Defense Meteorological Satellite Progam (DMSP)
NASA Reverb ECHO Clearinghouse for NASA Earth Observation Satellite data including MODIS, MISR, ASTER, GRACE, etc.
GloVis The USGS Global Visualization Viewer (GloVis) is an online search and order tool for selected satellite data. The viewer allows access to all available browse images from the Landsat 7 ETM+, Landsat 4/5 TM, Landsat 1-5 MSS, EO-1 ALI, EO-1 Hyperion, MRLC, and Tri-Decadal data sets, as well as Aster TIR, Aster VNIR and MODIS browse images from the DAAC inventory.
Earth Explorer Query and order satellite images, aerial photographs, and cartographic products through the U.S. Geological Survey.
NSIDC The National Snow and Ice Data Center, or NSIDC, is a United States information and referral center in support of polar and cryospheric research. NSIDC archives and distributes digital and analog snow and ice data and also maintains information about snow cover, avalanches, glaciers, ice sheets, freshwater ice, sea ice, ground ice, permafrost, atmospheric ice, paleoglaciology, and ice cores.

BayGeo BAAMA has recently been renamed BayGeo. BayGeo serves the diverse community of geospatial technology users and map enthusiasts.
ASPRS The American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote sensing (ASPRS) aims to advance knowledge and improve understanding of mapping sciences and to promote the responsible applications of photogrammetry, remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), and supporting technologies.
AAG The American Association of Geographers (AAG) is a nonprofit scientific and educational society founded in 1904. For more than 100 years the AAG has contributed to the advancement of geography. Its members from nearly 100 countries share interests in the theory, methods, and practice of geography, which they cultivate through the AAG's Annual Meeting, scholarly journals and online.
SIGSPATIAL ACM SIGSPATIAL addresses issues related to the acquisition, management, and processing of spatially-related information with a focus on algorithmic, geometric, and visual considerations. The scope includes, but is not limited to, geographic information systems (GIS).
