Climate Change
http://palaeo.gly.bris.ac.uk/communication/Willson/intro.html
This particular site looks at the climate change through the Cretaceous into the
Tertiary, looking in turn into the evidence from a number of different kinds of
stratigraphic information, including sedimentology, paleontology and isotopes. A
good introduction to the use of this information in stratigraphic studies including
correlation.
