Subject: Release Announcement:  North American Pollen Atlas

Dear Colleagues,

We're writing to announce the publication of the North American Pollen
Atlas, which provides a comprehensive series of visualizations of modern
pollen-climate and pollen-vegetation relationships, based on a network
of over 4500 surface pollen samples.  The intent of the Atlas is to aid
paleoclimatic and paleoecological interpretations of fossil pollen
diagrams.   The atlas is priced at $48 and may be ordered from the
American Association of Stratigraphic Palynologists
(https://payment.palynology.org/#Contribution  and scroll to bottom of
'Contribution' list).  All income supports the AASP.  On-line PDFs of
all Atlas pages may be viewed and downloaded at the NOAA
Paleoclimatology website
(http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/pubs/williams2006/williams2006.html)

The underlying surface pollen dataset is described by Whitmore et al.
(2005, QSR), and can be downloaded from two mirrored sites at the
University of Ottawa (http://www.lpc.uottawa.ca/data/index.html) and
Wisconsin (http://www.geography.wisc.edu/faculty/williams/web/data.htm).
If you have additional surface pollen samples, please consider sending
them to Konrad Gajewski (gajewski at aix1.uottawa.ca) or Jack Williams
(jww at geography.wisc.edu).  We are committed to maintaining and updating
the surface sample database as a community service, and welcome
additional data contributions.
