published by the University of North Carolina: Department of Geological Sciences
This site, from the Earth Monitoring Station at the University of North Carolina, provides an examination of self-similarity and fractals in geoscience.  The generation of artificial fractals, fractal dimensions and definitions, and fractal geometry are explained.  The site also contains examples such as river basins, coastlines, and lightening that exhibit fractal characteristics.
