Traverse<ref name=ch17r87>Traverse, A., 1988, Palaeopalynology: London, Unwin Hyman, 600 p.</ref> provides a general review of the methods of palynological paleoenvironmental analysis. He discusses the use of palynomorphs as paleoclimate indicators and the methods by which sedimentation of palynomorph assemblages help infer depositional environments in both marine and nonmarine settings. Additionally, Lipps<ref name=ch17r57>Lipps, J., H., ed., 1993, Fossil Prokaryotes and Protists: London, Blackwell Scientific, 342 p.</ref> provides a similar general review of paleoenvironmental approaches for micro[[paleontology]]. Following are three examples of paleoenvironmental information deduced from micropaleontology.
