First, some tree rings:

• Comparing Tree Rings - How are tree rings read and interperated? Find out here. Lots of graphics of the rings.
• Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research - Home page for one of the more well know tree ring laboratories. Links to other tree ring sites.
• Henry F. Diaz Abstract Number Six - Hughes abstract about the Medieval Warm Period.

Second, some glacial studies:

• Colin's Tree Homepage - Some case studies of glacier systems in the Canadian Rockies. Check out the second study.

Third, background from other climate records:

• The GISP2 ice core record--paleoclimate highlights - Overview of the GISP2 ice core. The most useful to us is The Little Ice Age and Medieval Warm Period.
• Henry F. Diaz Abstract Number One - Climate variability for the last 1000 yr.
• climabs1.html - U. Mass Climate lab, One project description, lots of references.
• Increase in Surface Water Temperature and Cloud Cover in the Caribbean since the Little Ice Age - Technical paper reporting on the change in sea surface temperature during the Little Ice Age.

Some suggestions from Christopher Robison, Thanks Chris.

• I discovered NASA's educational pages: http://spacelink.msfc.nasa.gov/html/resources.html, which is a data base for other links (go to the "Earth Observations" section). There are all kinds of links that deal with the same subjects that we are studying in class.
• Other links include:
  • http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/mtpe, which is NASA's "Mission To Planet Earth" page.
