This page is an index to Geoscience Australia's National/International scale datasets and applications that are available online. Datasets provided are in the areas of energy, environmental, geochemistry, geochronology, geodesy, geomagnetism, geology, geophysics, earthquakes, landslides, floods, nuclear monitoring, marine and coastal, minerals, pertoleum, satellite imagery, and topography.
The database has data in the areas of population, poverty, land cover, land form, base data, elevation, rainfall, biodiversity, wildlife, tourism, water, irrigation, hydropower, other data (biomass, water distribution, market centers, and charcoal sources). No account needed.
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. Use the LCENVS account. All data is downloaded in the E00 format.

A catalog containing hundreds of WMS servers; WMS URL is linked to each.. A bit difficult to browse, but a lot of good layers for sites in the US and abroad. New list at OGC-Services.NET appears to be incomplete. (Jim P., July 2009)
A list of WMS data for a diversity of themes, some unique to the Pacific Northwest but most applicable to the entire U.S. WMS sites are at the top of the list; the WMS URL is listed for each theme.
This source of downloadable GIS shapefiles uses a mapping interface to identify your area of interest prior to selecting and downloading files. Note: some of the selections seemed a bit buggy on certain browsers, possible due to Java issues. (Jim P, 2009)
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)
