Planet of the Dinosaurs Laurasia - Published 2007
When the supercontient Pangaea separated into two great landmasses, Gondwana in the south and Laurasia in the north, dinosaur populations were divided into two main populations that evolved mostly in isolation from each other until they met their end 65 million years ago. This remarkable poster was published in December 2007 as half of a two-piece set. It features ten of the dinosaurs that roamed Laurasia in the northern hemisphere. More than 550 species of dinosaurs have been named, and scientists estimate that more than a thousand others are waiting to be found.

Greenhouse Earth - Published 2007
Published in October 2007 as half of a two-piece set with "Changing Climate," this revealing poster explains how the Earth's atmosphere acts as a greenhouse and how carbon emissions raise the planet's surface temperature. Graphs and charts reveal the origin of emissions, predicted future carbon emission levels, and the warming cycles the planet has experienced in its history.

Changing Climate - Published 2007
The scientific evidence is clear: Surface temperatures on Earth are warming at a pace that signals a decisive shift in the global climate, one expected to last for centuries. Climate is changing more rapidly than ever before and human activity is the main cause. Burning of fossil fuels has flooded the atmosphere with heat-trapping carbon dioxide, triggering a 1 degree (F) spike in average global temperature in the past century, largely in the past 30 years. This informative map, published in October 2007 as half of a two-map set with "Greenhouse Earth," reveals evidence which suggests that unless CO2 emissions are slashed, the planet will likely heat up even faster, fundamentally changing the world we live in.
