      <pubDate>2010-03-09</pubDate>
      <description>The Race Equality Foundation's Better Health website provides a forum to access and discuss the Better Health Briefing Papers. These evidence-based papers provide information and guidance on a variety of issues including: the impact of personal or institutional racism upon black and minority ethnic service users and staff, the limitations which exist in the provision of culturally, ethnically and linguistically appropriate health services, the obstacles to the participation and engagement of black and minority ethnic service users in health services, including segregation, dispersal or language, the intersections between age, disability, gender, faith, poverty and ethnicity and best practice examples to tackle discrimination and disadvantage. With a supplementary collection of related resources and weblinks, the site also highlights the changing legislative background to equality issues, providing staff with guidance to help embed good practice in their everyday work. Frontline staff are encouraged to get involved, with a forum to discuss the papers and resources, and to share ideas and good practice.</description>

      <title>Landmap Service - ERS 1</title>
      <pubDate>2010-03-11</pubDate>
      <description>The Landmap European Remote Sensing (ERS) Collection consists of radar satellite images. ERS images provide an excellent alternative to optical data as radar data is unaffected by cloud cover and can be acquired either night or day as the sensor is active. The data can be used for research in the areas of agriculture, forestry, geology and glaciology. Data is acquired using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technique.  The archive consists of around 150 images covering the UK and Republic of Ireland between 1995 - 1999.</description>

      <title>Landmap Service - Landsat 4/5</title>
      <pubDate>2010-03-11</pubDate>
      <description>The Landmap Landsat 4 &amp; 5 collection consists of 32 satellite images acquired during 1988-1992. The Nearest Neighbour resampling method was implemented. The data is available for download in a range of formats these are: - 25m Bands 3,2,1 (GeoTiff); 25m Bands 3,2,1 stretched (GeoTiff &amp; JPEG) and 25m Bands 1,2,3,4,5,7 (Imagine). Bands 3,2,1 are otherwise known as true colour composite. The data has been orthorectifed using Kinematic Global Positioning System (KGPS) and European Remote Sensing (ERS) data to supply the Ground Control Points (GCP) and the Landmap Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for elevational data (25m resolution). Landsat 4 and 5 are useful for soil, vegetation, classifying forest and land cover applications.</description>
