Pollen ID offers a free and easy access to various palynological
information and compiles in the same web-space a pollen database and
different services through a friendly user interface. Pollen ID proposes,
or will propose, pollen and plant descriptions, terminology learning with an
illustrated glossary and interactive images, identification keys, pollen analysis,
pollen diagram construction, links with vegetation and climate data. The
Pollen ID project is presently restricted to the European and Mediterranean
geographical area, but it will be extended to other regions as well. This project
is still in progress; its content and user interface – presently in French - will be
soon available in English. In its final shape, the Pollen ID project will include
palynological applications such as pollen determination tests, several original
pollen analysis exercises with representations in diagrams and an easy
interpretation of vegetation and climate. Pollen ID is accessible on http://lisupmc.
