Images

Australian Bureau of Meteorology Gallery

The BOM Gallery is a great place for many climate related images and graphs including many we use at Beyond Zero Emissions.

UNEP/GRAD-Arendal Graphic Library

This library is also a great resource for climate related images.

Flickr

Flickr is a website for hosting photos. You can search the website for photos you might wish to use in your campaign.

You can choose to search for creative commons material only by choosing options under advanced search. This will enable you to use and even modify the photos without fear of breaching copyright.

Google Earth

Google Earth allows you to see earth from space, zoom in to view interesting features and change the angle you are looking at them from. Useful for getting pictures of open cut mines or forest clearing. You will need to down load the Google Earth program.

Google Earth Sea Level Rise Maps

On this website you can access a version of the Google Earth map system which allows you to view a sea level rise of up to 14m. Does not need the Google Earth program and works on normal web browsers.

Nasa's Earth Observatory

This site has great images from space including many of the natural disasters caused by climate change. You can even track the progress of the latest hurricane or fire from space with daily updates.
