What a Wonderful World

“What a Wonderful World” is our scientific blog written with the intent to present stimulating scientific topics in a comprehensible way, suitable to everyone that is interested in science. 

 

This blog is an open "work in progress laboratory" intended for creative science communication. 

 

Within this blog science teachers from Europe and the World are invited to actively participate, by involving and stimulating their secondary school classes, in order to provide material and ideas to structure the contents of interactive e-books: the first e-book will be focused on Earth Observation. 

 

The text of the e-book will be designed, developed and built using selected blog material/work and will be made publicly accessible. 

 

Every new post represents a short presentation to kick off a discussion about the major concepts in Earth Observation.
