Climate - Vegetation Atlas
http://pubs.usgs.gov/pp/p1650-a/
The internet site for the "Atlas of Relations between Climatic Parameters and Distributions of Important Trees and Shrubs in North America" provides access to the text (see book reviews), digital representations of figures, and supplemental data files.

Flora of New England
http://www.herbaria.harvard.edu /~rangelo/Neatlas0/WebIntro.html
This atlas includes vouchered records of the flora of New England. The distributions of species are shown on dot maps.

Geological Survey of Canada
http://sts.gsc.nrcan.gc.ca/
Terrain Sciences Division of the GSC has added new images, particularly from western Canada, to the Canadian Landscapes pages; a Recent Publications page now lists GSC publications by Division staff; and a web-based version of the Environmental Atlas of the Beaufort Coastlands has also been added.

ADIAC
http://www.ualg.pt/adiac/
Automatic Diatom Identification and Classification (ADIAC) is a large collaborative project funded by the European Union which aims at automating the process of diatom identification, using image analysis and pattern recognition techniques.
    A large library of high resolution diatom images is being established, with 2000 images already available. The database also contains ecological information, compiled by Steve Juggins' group at University of Newcastle. The images are in a browsable/searchable database, hosted by the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh at http://www.rbge.org.uk/ADIAC/db/adiacdb.htm

PALPEAT
http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists/pal peat/
The Palaeopeatlands Research Group stimulates research on the origins, development, biodiversity and proxy climate record of the peatlands of Europe and North America. They also collaborate on standard methodologies for data collection and management, set agreed taxonomic standards, and develop protocols for access to centrally held data.

Radiocarbon Information
http://c14.sci.waikato.ac.nz/webinfo/index.html
A compendium of information on the theory and practice of radiocarbon dating is online at the radiocarbon laboratories at Waikato University, New Zealand. There are fifteen sections, including teaching modules on measurement, corrections, age calculation, and calibration.

QUEEN
www.geomar.de/~hbauch/king/html/queen.html
Over the past years, numerous bilateral projects have developed between research institutions in western European countries, North America and Russia in an effort to solve various aspects of the paleoclimatic history of northernmost Eurasia and the adjacent Arctic. The program "Quaternary Environments of the Eurasian North (QUEEN)" is sponsored by the European Science Foundation and promotes the exchange of information between the ongoing projects in these regions.
