Resources for Research

This file contains starting points for collecting data on different international environmental problems.  They were compiled by Rachel Hardwick, a senior at the University of Oregon, in Spring Term 1997.  These are provided as simple starting points for your research into international environmental problems.  You should also make sure to check out the On-line Data Sources and the  On-line Bibliographies as well as the  International Environmental Resources, especially the  On-line Environmental Treaty Data Sources.  I hope you find the following useful.
