"When combined with computer model simulations, paleoclimatic reconstructions are used to test hypotheses about the causes of climatic change, such as greenhouse gases, solar variability, earth's orbital variations, and hydrological, oceanic, and tectonic processes, This book is a comprehensive, state-of-the art synthesis of paleoclimate research covering all geological timescales, emphasizing topics that shed light on modern trends in the earth's climate." --Book Jacket.

This book seeks to provide a new and integrated perspective on the Earth. Supporting the earth expansion theory and based on it, the book offers a new interpretation on the total earth system including global tectonics, which explains the cause of earth’s expansion, formation of the continents, oceans and mid-oceanic ridges, formation of mountain ranges, the nature of mantle, core and fluid geosphere, magnetic features of the planet, distribution of temperature pressure and gravity in the interior of the planet, cause of perennial heat of the planet and various other features of global significance. The book offers a totally new concept and interpretation of gravity and provides explanations as to why the earth’s core of the outer core using the new theory and the implication of the earth’s rotation in revamping and shaping the crustal manner.

Paleoecological data from the Quaternary Period (2.6 million years ago to present) provides an opportunity for educational outreach for the earth and biological sciences. Paleoecology data repositories serve as technical hubs and focal points within their disciplinary communities and so are uniquely situated to help produce teaching modules and engagement resources. The Neotoma Paleoecology Database provides support to educators from primary schools to graduate students. In collaboration with pedagogical experts, the Neotoma Paleoecology Database team has developed teaching modules and model workflows. Early education is centered on discovery; higher-level educational tools focus on illustrating best practices for technical tasks. Collaborations among pedagogic experts, technical experts and data stewards, centered around data resources such as Neotoma, provide an important role within research communities, and an important service to society, supporting best practices, translating current research advances to interested audiences, and communicating the importance of individual research disciplines.
