In this part of our site, you can explore those questions for yourself. Whether you're a scholar, journalist, policymaker, or student, we hope you find it useful. If you'd like us to add anything, send a message to our Director.
Our Tools page directs you to powerful, accessible programs that allow you to map and graph past, present, and projected climate changes. All of these programs are freely available online, and all include explanations of how they obtain their information.
Our Databases page goes one step further. Here, scholars and students can access huge repositories of so-called climate "proxy" data: sources that respond to weather, which we can use to trace climate changes across deep time. Many of these "proxies" include documentary evidence that also sheds light on how communities and societies have responded to past climate changes. We host one especially important resource: the Climatological Database for the World's Oceans.
Our Bibliography page provides the most comprehensive list of climate history and historical climatology scholarship available on the free web. Dr. Sam White, a professor of environmental history at Ohio State University, maintains this essential academic resource.
Our Videos page gives a short list of climate history and historical climatology YouTube clips. We're still adding to this page, so your suggestions are welcome.
Our Links page features an extensive list of websites that deal with past, present, and future climate change. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but we've stressed unique, interdisciplinary voices.
Finally, our Tipping Points Project visualizes and describes the local consequences of past, present, and future climate changes. Professor Dagomar Degroot built this resource with students in his climate history courses at Georgetown University.
