Subject: Paleoclimate Slide Sets online


Paleoclimate Community:

Recently the NOAA Paleoclimatology Program put together online versions
of the nine educational slidesets that were originally developed
primarily for undergraduate audiences studying climate change and
variability.  Because these slidesets are graphically rich, some delay
in the load time may occur.  Each of the slide sets can be viewed as
separate images with corresponding text, or as an online slideshow.

Topics include:
-The Ice Ages
-Collapse of the Classic Maya Civilization
-Coral Paleoclimatology:Natural Record of Climate Change for High School
Student
-Polar Ice Cores
-Packrat Middens: Vegetation & Climate Variability in the Southwestern
United States
-Tree Rings: Ancient Chronicles of Environmental Change
-Heinrich Events: Marine Record of Abrupt Climate Changes in the Late
Pleistocene
-Low Latitude Ice Cores: High Resolution Records of Climatic Change and
Variability in the Tropics and Subtropics

They can be accessed via http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/paleo/slides.html

Our intention is to provide engaging information and images about an
array of different Paleoclimate topics. Please let us know what you
think.  You can provide your feedback directly to me.
