Welcome to the World Wide Web Virtual Library: Paleoclimatology and Paleoceanography. The WWW Virtual Library is the Web's oldest and original index, founded by Tim Berners-Lee. In the spirit of the original Web, it is maintained by volunteers as a public service. I hope users of The Queen's English will forgive my use of the American spelling.
