Online images: Alaskan volcanoes
*************************************
From: Tina Neal

A CD_ROM collection of digital pictures with brief captions is now 
available online at http://geopubs.wr.usgs.gov/dds/dds-39/

Neal, Christina, McGimsey, Robert, and Diggles, M.F., 2001, Volcanoes of 
the Wrangell Mountains and Cook Inlet region, Alaska--selected photographs: 
U.S. Geological Survey Digital Data Series DDS-39, version 1.1 (CD-ROM)

From the introduction:

This CD?ROM contains 97 digitized color 35-mm images which represent a 
small fraction of thousands of photographs taken by Alaska Volcano 
Observatory scientists, other researchers, and private citizens. The 
photographs were selected to portray Alaska's volcanoes, to document recent 
eruptive activity, and to illustrate the range of volcanic phenomena 
observed in Alaska.

These images are for use by the interested public, multimedia producers, 
desktop publishers, and the high-end printing industry. The digital images 
are stored in the ?images? folder and can be read across Macintosh, 
Windows, DOS, OS/2, SGI, and UNIX platforms with applications that can read 
JPG (JPEG - Joint Photographic Experts Group format) or PCD (Kodak's 
PhotoCD (YCC) format) files. Throughout this publication, the image numbers 
match among the file names, figure captions, thumbnail labels, and other 
references. Also included on this CD?ROM are Windows and Macintosh viewers 
and engines for keyword searches (Adobe Acrobat Reader with Search). At the 
time of this publication, Kodak's policy on the distribution of 
color-management files is still unresolved, and so none is included on this 
CD?ROM. However, using the Universal Ektachrome or Universal Kodachrome 
transforms found in your software will provide excellent color. In addition 
to PhotoCD (PCD) files, this CD?ROM contains large (14.2?x19.5?) and small 
(4?x6?) screen-resolution (72 dots per inch; dpi) images in JPEG format. 
These undergo downsizing and compression relative to the PhotoCD images. 
Each of these resolutions is located in the following folders:
PhotoCD format (PCD?s): /images/PCD/

JPG files (landscape, 1024 pixels wide; portrait, 768 pixels high): 
/images/JPG/large_screen/
JPG files (landscape, 432 pixels wide; portrait, 432 pixels high): 
/images/JPG/small_screen/

Feel free to use any of these images but please cite the photographer and 
the U.S. Geological Survey.
