In the April 2010 issue of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, we identified exemplar landscapes of the continental United States. These landscapes were selected using the 1992 Metaland database by the affinity propagation algorithm, which quickly and objectively chooses representative items from large sets.  Click to learn more about this project and see these landscapes embedded in a web page (which does not require a copy of Google Earth). Or, you can get the full tour by downloading the kmz file for viewing in your own copy of Google Earth.
