Google Earth or Maps API Presentations at AGU and AMS:

• AGU This link (http://conferences.images.alaska.edu/agu/) may be interesting to some people.
  It a collection of the presentations on virtual globes at AGU (2006 and 2007).
  Most of them are about using Google Earth.
• AMS had a virtual globes session too,
  http://ams.confex.com/ams/88Annual/techprogram/session_21095.htm and http://ams.confex.com/ams/88Annual/techprogram/session_21847.htm
