Paleogeography and Paleoclimatology Links
- The Paleogeographic Atlas Project Global paleogeography and paleoclimates, with emphasis on the Permian and Jurassic. Climate-sensitive sediment and fossil plant distributions are shown on detailed paleogeographic maps, enabling determinations of global paleoclimate patterns.
- Paleomap Virtual reality reconstructions illustrating the plate tectonic development of the ocean basins and continents, as well as the changing distribution of land and sea during the past 1100 million years.
- ODSN Plate Tectonic Reconstruction Service Ocean Drilling Stratigraphic Network (ODNS) interactive tool to calculate platetectonic reconstructions of any age back to 150 My.
- Ocean Drilling Program - JANUS Database Database includes paleontological, lithostratigraphic, chemical, physical, sedimentological, and geophysical data for ocean sediments and hard rocks.
- Plate Movements and Climate Change Student exercise from Karen L. Bice of Pennsylvania State University.
- Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project Coordinates and encourages the systematic study of atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) and to assess their ability to simulate large changes of climate such as those that occurred in the distant past.
- Paleogeography of the Southwestern US Maps showing period-by-period reconstructions of the paleogeography of Southwest United States.
