  1. 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 APPROACHES: • 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) EDUCATION/OUTREACH: Develop instructional materials http://www.geo.arizona.edu/~/rees/UAquestions.html http://www.geo.arizona.edu/geo3xx/geo308/WebLab.htm FOSSIL AND SEDIMENTARY DATA AND TOOLS DEVELOPMENT Allister Rees and Karl Flessa, University of Arizona

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

  3. The Paleogeographic Atlas Project (PGAP) Database

  4. Original PGAP User Interface…

  5. PGAP in GEON…

  6. Late Jurassic Early Triassic Early Carboniferous Integrating Information: Diversity, Geography and Climate Fossil Plants: Paleobiology Database Sedimentary Rocks: PGAP Database Paleogeography: PALEOMAP Project

  7. The GEON Test Beds Spatial-Temporal PGAP and Paleobiology data coverage PGAP Database Paleobiology Database + 19,655 Paleozoic fossil genus occurrences

  8. Shell Occidental Integrating Information: Oil Industry Partnership ‘Paleogeography of Sedimentary and Oil source Rocks: a Geoinformatics Approach’(Lithofacies Databases and ArcGIS Maps)

  9. PGAP Lithofacies PGAP Climate Sensitive Sediments Oil Source Rocks

  10. Research Partnership Chris Scotese The Spatial-Temporal Information Matrix (STIM Cube): An Efficient Way To Store Geological Information (Scotese & Rees, GSA 2004)

  11. Integrating Information Identifying the different sources of variation in diversity curves through time… • sampling • geography • climate • evolution …provides much deeper understanding of how the evolution of the earth’s surface interacts with the evolution of life
