Climate Maps Maps of temperature and precipitation patterns across the US and the globe for historic and future climate scenarios	Animations Animations over time of historical and future climate, biomass accumulation, and vegetation indices
Single Site Climate Data This interactive tool will generate a graph of historical/future climate for a specific latitude and longitude, as well as downloadable text data for further analysis.	Carbon Mapper An interactive mapserver that provides access to data that can be queried for any location. Data sets include: Biomes, Land cover, Albedo, NDVI, NPP, as well as GLOBE Carbon Cycle Carbon/Biomass Plot data.
Picture Post Environmental monitoring by citizens and students through digital images. Student Climate Data offers feature enhancement such as animations over time, activities, and connections with NASA satellite image products.	Tree Atlas Interactive maps of current and potential future tree species habitats in the Northeastern US created by the US forest service. Video tutorial available here.
Biome Maps Maps and interactive tools relating to the biomes of the globe	Related Data Resources Links to sites with friendly interfaces for obtaining earth science and climate change data.
