Abstract

The World Wide Web site at the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) is much more than a passive, electronic brochure. With its long tradition and expertise in developing training materials for a variety of knowledge levels, CCRS is ideally placed to exploit the store front medium that the Internet provides for raising public awareness of remote sensing technology. The CCRS Web site is a multifaceted didactic tool: providing information to the remote sensing specialist on the latest research; and to the surfer who wants to learn about applications that promote a sustainable future
