Paleogeography and Paleoclimatology
- 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.|
» ALP-IMP Research Project
Multi-centennial climate variability in the Alps. Compilation project of instrumental data and proxy information from tree-ring records, isotopic ice core records, and glacier variability records. » Atlantis and Paleogeography
Known paleogeography is compared to the geography of Plato's Atlantis. Written for a general audience it sums up relevant facts including from recent research, and illustrates with video and multimedia. » Caribbean Tectonic Reconstructions
Reconstructions of the Caribbean at various times in the geologic past (past 200 million years) » Evolution of the Colorado River and its Tributaries
