Go to NOAA's Paleoclimatology website and database portal and select one of the paleoclimatology research methods (ie. tree rings, fauna, etc.)

1.  Explain to me (and your classmates) your climatology research method:

a)  Describe the data your method collects.

b)  Provide at least one diagram/image of "data" gathered your way (like the image of tree rings for studying climate with trees).

• Describe how the data is interpreted to determine the climate.
  

d)  What is the relationship between the data (like tree ring diameter) and climate?

• describe how changes in climate (like increase in average temperature) affect the dimension you are measuring (like tree ring width)

c)  State two climate dimensions that cannot be determined by your climatology research method.

2.  Build a "data image" of your own using, data from your research method to make a line graph (of you are measuring CO₂, methane, temperature), a timeline (if you are measuring fauna or insects) or a series of maps or kitegraphs, if you are measuring pollen.  NOTE: these are not mandated but only suggested methods. 

3.  Please upload the Excel spreadsheet used to make your graph to this wiki and put a link to your data on your wiki page.
