A rectangular grid with 9 by 4 display — representing easting and northing — shows the first two letters of the global hierarchical tile index for each tile. This grid is superimposed over a grey map of the Earth’s terrestrial surface. Two inset maps show additional zoom levels and the increasing string lengths of the hierarchical index at each level.

IMMUNOLOGY

This image shows a crystal-clear Florida spring with several manatees swimming in the shallow water, including a juvenile manatee hovering over its mother in the background. The water has a beautiful turquoise-green hue, allowing visibility of the sandy bottom and aquatic plants. The outlines of several large manatees can be seen beneath the water’s surface, with their rounded bodies visible against the lighter sandy bottom. The spring is bordered by tall grass and vegetation along the shoreline. This represents the type of spring habitat discussed in the research on Florida springsheds.
