List geological research domains and categories from the Estonian Geology Fund.

Available WMS map layers from the Estonian Geology Fund GeoServer. 60+ layers covering geology, hydrogeology, mineral deposits, geomorphology, and bedrock.

Calculate the CO2 emissions (in kg) for a specific activity and amount. Supports activities like flights, driving, electricity usage, and heating. Provide the activity type and amount (e.g., kilometers driven, kWh consumed). Returns the total CO2 equivalent. Useful for personal carbon footprint trackers, corporate sustainability reporting tools, and environmental awareness apps that help users understand their impact.

Calculate the CO2 emissions for a specific flight route by providing origin and destination coordinates. Uses great-circle distance and aviation emission factors to estimate the carbon footprint in kilograms of CO2. Useful for travel booking apps that display environmental impact, carbon offset calculators, and corporate travel sustainability reporting. Supports any two points on Earth.

Get recent earthquakes worldwide from the USGS (United States Geological Survey) seismic network. Returns location, magnitude, depth, time, and coordinates for each event. Filter by minimum magnitude (default 2.5) and limit results. Useful for seismology dashboards, natural disaster monitoring tools, safety alert systems, and educational apps about plate tectonics. Data is updated in near real-time.

Find earthquakes near a specific location within a configurable radius (default 500 km). Provide latitude and longitude coordinates to search around. Returns matching earthquakes with distance from your point. Useful for location-based safety apps, property risk assessment tools, local seismic activity monitors, and travel apps that inform users about nearby geological activity.

Get only the most significant recent earthquakes (magnitude 6.0 and above) from USGS. These are the events that can cause major damage and are felt across wide areas. Returns location, magnitude, depth, and time. Useful for disaster response dashboards, news apps covering natural disasters, and global risk assessment tools that focus on high-impact seismic events.

Get a list of asteroids making close approaches to Earth today, from NASA's Near Earth Object Web Service (NeoWs). Returns asteroid names, estimated diameters, closest approach distances, relative velocities, and whether they are classified as potentially hazardous. Useful for space awareness apps, science education tools, and astronomy dashboards that track objects passing near our planet.

Get current space weather alerts and warnings from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). Returns active geomagnetic storm watches, solar radiation storms, radio blackout alerts, and other space weather advisories. Each alert includes severity level, issue time, and description. Essential for aurora chasers, satellite operators, aviation planners, and power grid managers who need to monitor geomagnetic disturbances.

Archive of issued NOAA SWPC alerts: geomagnetic storm watches, solar radiation storms, radio blackout warnings, and more. Filter by ?start and ?end. Ideal for post-mortems on specific events, training data for alert prediction models, and historical context when an alert fires today.

Get recent solar flare events from NOAA SWPC, including flare class (A, B, C, M, X), peak time, begin/end times, and source active region. M-class and X-class flares can cause radio blackouts, GPS disruptions, and enhanced aurora displays. Useful for amateur radio operators monitoring propagation conditions, aurora forecasters, space weather researchers, and satellite operators assessing radiation risk.

Historical GOES X-ray flare flux readings archived continuously. Filter by ?energy band (short/long) and ?start/?end. Useful for studying solar flare distributions, correlating flares with aurora or radio-blackout events, and long-term analysis of solar-cycle activity.

Get recent planetary K-index (Kp) values from NOAA SWPC, the primary indicator of geomagnetic storm activity. The Kp index ranges from 0 (quiet) to 9 (extreme storm). Values of 5+ indicate geomagnetic storms visible as aurora at lower latitudes. Returns a time series of recent Kp readings. Critical for aurora prediction apps, satellite drag calculations, GPS accuracy monitoring, and space weather dashboards.

Full time series of planetary Kp index readings collected continuously from NOAA SWPC. Filter with ?start and ?end. Valuable for aurora forecasters correlating past activity with sightings, space weather researchers studying storm distributions, and dashboards plotting geomagnetic trends over months or years.

Get recent daily sunspot numbers from NOAA SWPC, tracking solar activity levels. Sunspot numbers correlate with the 11-year solar cycle and predict space weather intensity. Higher sunspot counts mean more frequent solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and aurora displays. Useful for solar cycle tracking dashboards, long-term space weather forecasting, amateur astronomy tools, and climate research applications studying solar irradiance variability.

Search Nobel Prize laureates by name or birth country. Returns laureate biographies, prize categories, years awarded, and motivations. Data from the Nobel Foundation. Useful for building searchable laureate databases, country-specific Nobel winner lists, and educational tools exploring scientific and literary achievement.

Browse Nobel Prize data by year and/or category (physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, peace, economics). Returns prize details including laureate names, motivations, and share amounts. Data from the official Nobel Foundation API. Useful for education platforms, history apps, scientific achievement timelines, and trivia features.
