This is an Innovative Mapping Tool released by the EPA to Improve Environmental Reviews and Planning. The web-based application draws environmental data dynamically from EPA's Geographic Information System (GIS) databases and web services and provides immediate screening of environmental assessment indicators for a user-defined area of interest.
Database with extensive links to government agencies with data sets on the themes of agriculture, environment, chemistry, climate, biodiversity, economy, society, geography, history for the UK and specifically Scotland. Data is in a variety of formats.
Interactive mapping interface with links to data download from multiple sources. I found some download links to be more understandable than others. (Jim Proctor, Oct 2009)
Geocommunity has free, downloadable data in the areas of administrative, political boundaries, DEMs, geologic, hydrography, land use/land cover, place name gazetteer, transportation, and utilities. This data can be found at the national level and state level. Use the LCENVS account. All data is downloaded in the E00 format.

Several data downloads from OzCoasts for different areas of Australia's coastal waterways. OzCoasts "provides comprehensive information about Australia's coast, including its estuaries, coastal waterways and climate change impact."
National Geophysical Data Center WMS (and other format) themes, generally with global extent (some restricted to U.S.). WMS URL is easy to obtain by clicking "wms" button next to each theme. (Jim P., July 2009)
Over 1000 WMS themes, most restricted to the U.S. (many for specific counties) but some international. The WMS URL is plainly given for each theme. (Jim P., July 2009)
The Title 3 Land data delineates areas protected by the Stream and Floodplain Protection Plan, which aims to protect the region's health and public safety by reducing flood and landslide hazards, controlling soil erosion, and reducing pollution of the region's waterways.

PDF file providing overview of data used for 2006 Environmental Performance Index, including raw values for included countries and brief descriptions of how data were collected/measured. From site: "By identifying specific targets for environmental performance and measuring how close each country comes to these established goals, the Pilot 2006 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) provides benchmarks for current national pollution control and natural resource management results. The issue-by-issue and aggregate rankings facilitate cross-country comparisons both globally and within relevant peer groups.…The EPI centers on two broad environmental protection objectives: (1) reducing environmental stresses on human health and (2) protecting ecosystem vitality." | GIS_Data>ENVSData>Other_Sites>Global>Global_EPI>CNTRY_EPI_joined (Jim Proctor Fall 2008).
