Scientific paper

The study of the Earth as a system by scientists has been enhanced by studies of our solar system made possible by the use of planetary probes. While these missions suggest many questions that scientists would like to answer, they also help scientists reach a fuller understanding the processes that produce the vastly different environments of the various planets, and thus a better understanding of the processes that shape the environment of the Earth. In response to the call to bring this scientific knowledge to students there have been many educational resources developed to help students understand the similarities and differences of the various planets and the processes that produce them. Through the use of these resources students will be in a better position to understand the processes that shape the Earth's environment and how it might change in response to both natural and man-induced effects. The Digital Library for Earth System Science (DLESE, www.dlese.org) makes many of these resources available to educators and students. This presentation will demonstrate the capabilities and services of DLESE including 1) the discovery system and how it can be used to identify resources that focus on comparing the various planets, 2) the ability to provide customized search interfaces to specific communities, such as the planetary science community, for use by educators, and 3) the facilitation of the use of planetary science data and data analysis tools by students through the creation of Earth Exploration Toolbook (serc.carleton.edu/eet) chapters with those data and tools.
