The Geospatial Modelling Environment (GME) is the predecessor of the Hawths Tools extension for ArcGIS, but with some important improvements. It is designed to help to facilitate rigorous spatial analysis and modelling by linking ArcGIS to the statistical software package R. It has a greater range of analysis and modelling tools, supports batch processing, offers new graphing functionality, automatically records work-flows for future reference, supports geodatabases, and can be called programatically.

Desktop Earth is a wallpaper generator. It will generate a high-resolution, accurate representation of the Earth. The imagery is based on NASA’s Blue Marble Next and Earth’s City Lights.

Desktop Earth will generate a high-resolution (the imagery is calculated from high-resolution 2560×1280 textures!!) representation of the Earth combined with city lights data which will be used to generate the Wallpaper. The image also changes automatically to represent snow and foilage changes across the seasons.
