  1. THE CLIMATE RECORD & SEVERE WEATHER CLIMATOLOGY

  2. PROXY DATA Historical Documents Biological evidence coral, forams, pollen, tree rings Geological evidence glacial deposits, ice cores, sediments

  3. Antarctica Ice Cores

  4. Palynology is the branch of science dealing with microscopic, decay-resistant remains of certain plants and animals. It has many applications including archaeological palynology, Quarternary palynology, and stratigraphic palynology.

  5. Marine sediment samples collected with a multicorer

  6. Ocean Floor Cores Foraminifera (forams for short). Forams provide two main types of information : ocean temperature of species, O18/O16 ratio (glacial ice volume)

  7. Biological Evidence: Tree Rings

  8. DENDROCHRONOLOGY Bristlecone pine of the Great Basin region of western North America are the oldest known living trees, up to 5,000 years old.

  9. Pleistocene Ice Age

  10. Glacial Deposit: Erratic

  11. Alpine Glacier and Mass Balance

  12. Alpine Erosional Features

  13. Alpine Glacier Depositional Features

  14. Continental Glacier Depositional Features

  15. Milankovitch Hypothesis

  16. Vostok Ice Core Record

  17. MIDIEVAL WARM PERIOD AND LITTLE ICE AGE

  18. Viking Voyages During Medieval Warm Period

  19. MAYAN CIVILIZATION COLLAPSE

  20. Climate and Art Hunters in the Snow by the Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1525–1569). Completed in February 1565, during the first of the many bitter winters of the Little Ice Age.

  21. Historic Instrument Record
