ALP-IMP Research Project - http://www.zamg.ac.at/ALP-IMP/
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 - http://atlantisinireland.com/
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.

Models and Observations to Test Climate Feedbacks - http://motif.lsce.ipsl.fr/
The MOTIF project proposes a coordinated approach to use past states of the climate system as a demanding test of the capabilities and reliability of the latest generation of coupled ocean-atmosphere-vegetation general circulation models (OAVGCMs).

Network for Ice Sheet and Climate Evolution - http://nice.ipsl.jussieu.fr/
NICE aims to predict more confidently the climate evolution over the next centuries to millennia and to identify the causes of the climatic changes and the uncertainties of climate predictions.

NOAA Paleoclimatology Program - http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/paleo/paleo.html
Paleoclimate data, applied research, and education. Features an interface to the World Data Center for paleoclimatology, offering access to original scientific data.

Ocean Drilling Program - JANUS Database - http://www-odp.tamu.edu/database/
Database includes paleontological, lithostratigraphic, chemical, physical, sedimentological, and geophysical data for ocean sediments and hard rocks.

Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project - http://pmip.lsce.ipsl.fr/
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.

Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project Phase II - http://pmip2.lsce.ipsl.fr/
This project studying the role of climate feedbacks arising for the different climate subsystems (atmosphere, ocean, land surface, sea ice and land ice) and evaluating the capability of state of the art climate models to reproduce climate states that are radically different from those of today.

Presentation of research projects involving pollen analysis for the study of environmental and climatic changes from late Pleistocene to present, with main focus on northern Germany.

The Paleogeographic Atlas Project - http://www.geo.arizona.edu/~rees/PGAPhome.html
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.
