MIRAVI stands for MERIS Images RApid VIsualization and it's a data-driven system for real time image rendering and quality analysis.
Those images, though fascinating, are not suitable for scientific use. Scientists usually prefer to work with MERIS data products, which fully exploit the 15 spectral bands of the instrument, and which are generated with sophisticated algorithms.

By the means of the interface of Google Maps, the Net surfer can sail a little everywhere on planet and discover at the time of his wander several zones delimited by rectangles of various size which symbolizes on the chart of the places, sites, quite precise monuments which not only localised but were documented by others. A click is enough then to visualize these annotations (36 supported languages) with very often of the bonds which point towards articles of Wikipedia but it should be noted that WikiMapia is not related to Wikimedia, association which precisely supports Wikipedia.
On from now on the very famous principle of the wiki, any user can contribute to WikiMapia, a recording is not even necessary. In WikiMapia, one can add a little anything like his small at home what is completely possible, test with the support but not the sorrow to seek, wiki-good citizenship finally was most extremely and this entry altogether a bit megalomaniac quickly was unobtrusive. That poses nevertheless the limits of such a project which without real measurement of control can well quickly derive from its original concept but also lead to other interesting initiatives via perhaps some improvements.
WikiMapia is a project to describe the whole planet Earth.
Just move the map to find interesting places, click on rectangles. To add an interesting place or object use Add New link. Note: Please only add places interesting to everyone.
Wikimapia was created by Alexandre Koriakine and Evgeniy Saveliev, inspired by Google maps and Wikipedia.
Your suggestions, ideas and bug reports are welcome. You may contact us using email: wikimapia@gmail.com.
Go and find your own place on Earth.

Scientists have uncovered remarkably preserved fossils – including feathers and webbed feet – of the oldest known relatives of modern birds, which also shores up the theory that birds evolved from aquatic environments.
Little is known about birds from the age of dinosaurs, since fossils that date back to the early Cretaceous Period – some 105 to 115 million years ago – are have rarely been found, the discovery reported in Friday's issue of the journal Science is particularly exciting for those trying to fill gaps in the avian family tree.
“I was totally blown away. I was stunned,” said Matthew Lamanna, assistant curator of vertebrate paleontology Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, recalling his first glimpse of the fossils.
