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.

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).

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)

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)

This WMS is the national database of Australia. It will allow you to view and make maps with a diversity of layers. It features two WMS bundles of themes; with WMS URLs: "http://www.ga.gov.au/wms/getmap?dataset=national&request=capabilities" is for National Geoscience Datasets, and "http://mapconnect.ga.gov.au/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap?Version=1.1.1&Request=getcapabilities&Service=WMS&Servicename=GDA94_MapConnect_SDE_250kmap_WMS&" is for National Topographic Datasets (Jim P., July 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. Use the LCENVS account.

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.
