CLIMATE RESEARCH/SCIENCE LINKS William Ruddiman has written a college-level textbook "Earth's Climate: Past and Future" which covers the entire spectrum of changes in Earth's climate including a discussion of the uplift hypothesis. This book provides an excellent introduction to the field of paleoclimatology. More advanced treatments of past climate change and the scientific controversies and uncertainties surrounding this topic can be found in three books, "Paleoclimatology" by Tom Crowley and Gerald North, " Paleoclimatology: Reconstructing Climates of the Quaternary" by Raymond Bradley, and "Ice Ages and Astronomical Causes: Data, Spectral Analysis, and Mechanisms" by Richard Muller and Gordon Macdonald. For the non-scientist, John Imbrie's "Ice Ages: Solving the Mystery" is a great read. It provides an engaging historical perspective on the search for the causes of ice ages. NOAA World Data Center for Paleoclimatology www.ngdc.noaa.gov/paleo/paleo.html Ocean Drilling Program www-odp.tamu.edu/ Integrated Ocean Drilling Program http://iodp.tamu.edu/ http://www.realclimate.org: A climate blog committed to accuracy in climate science reporting. IPCC - Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change http://ipcc.ch Spencer Weart's "The Discovery of Global Warming" recounts the history of global warming research over the last century. He also has a web site which supplements the book. Ross Gelbspan, a journalist/activist committed to stopping global warming published a super book on the global climate crisis "The Heat is On". He also maintains a web site The heat is online. See what he is up to. Want to see a great science talk about global warming? Go see Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. www.sciencemusings.com: My dad's science blog, the cyberspace reincarnation of his long-running Boston Globe column.
