Chapter 14 Supplemental Materials

This document provides supplemental materials and additional resources for information on ice types, the cryosphere, the recent redefinition of the Plio-Pleistocene boundary, and the spatial extent and timeline of Northern Hemisphere glaciation. It includes links to NASA and NSIDC websites for learning about the cryosphere and glaciers. It also recommends a 2009 Nature article about changing the Plio-Pleistocene boundary and three volume series published in 2004 on the extent and chronology of glaciation in Europe, North America, and other regions.
