		The PALEOMAP Project is known for its synthesis of the plate tectonic, paleogeographic, and paleoclimatic history of ocean basins and continents during the last 1100 million years, and the illustration of Earth history through maps, computer animations, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
		The topographic and bathymetric information is gridded at a 6-minute resolution, and the individual data points (pixel-points) are rotated back to their paleopositions using the global plate tectonic model of the PALEOMAP Project.
		The resulting map is reconstruction of present-day bathymetry and topography in paleo-coordinates (Late Miocene, Figure 1).

		Making these databases interoperable and developing paleomapping tools will enable the geoscience community to undertake similar broad-scale research.
		Finally, these patterns are assessed in the context of changing paleogeography and latitudinal motion, and reveal a more complex scenario of vegetation and climate change.
		Results are derived from analyses of data in the NCEAS Paleobiology and Paleogeographic Atlas Project (University of Chicago) databases, and the Paleomap Project.

	DLESE description of Paleomap Project
		The goal of the PALEOMAP Project is to illustrate the plate tectonic development of the ocean basins and continents, as well as the changing distribution of land and sea during the past 1100 million years.
		In the section on Earth history you can select any time period, read about that period, and see the plate distribution during that period.
		The site also has a section where you can print paleomaps that are formatted to be cut out and pasted on a 4 inch Styrofoam sphere to create your own paleoglobes.

	Color-coded plate reconstruction sequence
		Land masses are color-coded to make it easier to track the pieces of the continents as they move about.
		These reconstructions were developed by C. Scotese and the PALEOMAP Project at the University of Texas.

	Re: What did the Continents look like before Pangaea?
		Dear Hannah, The website for you is the Paleomap Project, located at http://www.scotese.com/ Use the “Earth History” hotlink on the Paleomap Project website which lets you select and view maps of where the continents were for each geological period going back to the Late Proterozoic, 650 million years ago.
		The Paleomap Project will take you back to the time when Rodinia was breaking up.
		Over hundreds of millions of years these island chains, which would have moved around on the Earth’s surface as the tectonic plates moved, collided to form larger land masses.

	Ice age (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Small changes in solar energy can tip the balance Between summers in which the winter snow mass completely melts and summers in which the winter snow persists until the following winter.
		See the web site Paleomap Project for images of the polar landmass distributions through time.
		Due to the positions of Greenland, Antarctica, and the northern portions of Europe, Asia, and North America in polar regions, the Earth today is considered to be prone to Ice age glaciations.
