The following is an annotated list of the resources I used to compile this website. Links can be found under Resource List in the upper right-hand corner of my blog.
1)Paleontology & The Ice Age- I also found this article through EBSCO's Science Reference Center. It gives a general overview of what makes an Ice Age as well as defines the four specific Ice Ages of the past.
2)Encyclopedia of World Environmental History- I found this source through EBSCO’s Science Reference Center. It gives a general overview of Ice Ages as well as evidence of their existence and theories about what causes them in the past and future.
3)Science Daily - This website is a branch of Science Daily devoted completely to information pertaining to Ice Ages. It offers information on the latest findings through articles on new discoveries and recent research.
4)NOVA- Ice- This is the official website of the PBS program NOVA, and its episode on Ice and Ace Ages. It also offers a history of the past Ice Ages as well as hypotheses on how they came to be.
5)Ice Age Paleoecology- This website is compiled though the University of Colorado Boulder and their Ecological Research Institute. The website offers information on their findings as well as area specific information about past Ice Ages. This particular sub-page offers specific information on Ice Age Paleoecology.
6)U.S. Department of the Interior - This is the official U.S. Department of the Interior / U.S. Geological Survey website pertaining to the Great Ice Age. It provides general information on historic Ice Ages as well as the impact they had on the world.
7)Global Warming and Ice Ages- This article connects the ongoing global warming to Ice Ages by providing specific information on how increased temperatures could ultimately result in a future Ice Age.

This is a good collection of links. Please be sure to balance causes of past ice ages and one that may be caused by global warming. Will you discuss if a coming ice age is a result of natural temperature flucuations?
Yes, I have found several sources that discuss how the future Ice Age would result as well as several that discuss the normal pattern of Ice Ages and climate fluctuation. I plan to compare the two potential causes in one of my future posts.
