1 Interoperability of the Paleogeographic Atlas Project and Paleobiology databases Incorporation with (e.g.) Utah EGI and Dinosauria databases External collaboration (Chris Scotese PALEOMAP/CHRONOS) Funding partners (Shell, Occidental) APPROACHES: Develop instructional materials http://www.geo.arizona.edu/~/rees/UAquestions.html http://www.geo.arizona.edu/geo3xx/geo308/WebLab.htm EDUCATION/OUTREACH: FOSSIL AND SEDIMENTARY DATA AND TOOLS DEVELOPMENT Allister Rees and Karl Flessa, University of Arizona GOAL: To enable the scientific community to use fossil and sedimentary data to examine how the evolution of the earth’s surface interacts with the evolution of life

2 The Paleogeographic Atlas Project (PGAP) database: its status within GEON Beyond interoperability of two databases – some next steps Why develop interoperability of the PGAP and Paleobiology Databases, and why integrate these with paleogeographic maps? time geography, tectonic setting climate How does extinction and diversity vary with:
