Encyclopedia of Earth

The Encyclopedia of Earth is a comprehensive, environmental encyclopedia intended for a general audience. The Encyclopedia is being created, maintained, and governed by expert contributors via a specially adapted "wiki." A wiki is an online resource that allows users to add and edit content collectively. Unlike other wikis, access to the Encyclopedia wiki is restricted to approved experts. All content is reviewed and approved prior to being published at the free public site.

The preliminary public Encyclopedia of Earth has just been launched with the help of approximately 200 authors and 80 editors.

The Encyclopedia is also looking for more expert contributors. Check out the site for more information.
