Armageddon Online - Notes, news and links on destructive forces of the universe from volcanoes, tsunamis, plagues and nuclear weapons on Earth to stars collapsing and exploding into hypernovae across the galaxy.
Exit Mundi - A variety of apocalypses: meteors, black holes, technological disasters, weird physical phenomena, religious writings, robots, and aliens.
Let's Save the Future - A critical situation, arising due to a rapid development of the natural sciences, creation of powerful means of destruction and the use of ancient, military methods of resolving conflicts, is considered.
Possible Future Global Catastrophes - This survey considers earthquake, pandemic, alien aggression, interplanetary impact, supernova, ice age, nuclear catastrophe, bioterror, and nanotech robot aggression.
Tsunami Project - The powerful earthquake and tsunami that hit Asia on December 26, 2004 was not the last in the masterminded sequence. The location of the next, and the final one is known. What we are still looking for, is only the date of this event.
WWW Bomb Shelter - Virtual "bomb shelter," based on instructions from Soviet Union Cold-War-era pamphlets, offers information on preparing for nuclear attacks, as well as histories and descriptions of various nuclear weapons.

Animal Extinctions in the Fossil Record: A Developmental Paradigm - Article by Vaclav Petr discussing the possible causes of extinctions.
Extinction - A number of extinction concepts are discussed and loosely defined, followed by a survey of some important extinction and "extinction-like" events, primarily from the Phanerozoic.
Extinctions: Cycles of Life and Death Through Time - Covers patterns and periodicity of extinction, with discussions of major mass extinctions and minor extinction events.
Mass Extinction - A mathematical model for mass extinction.
Our Nemesis? - Article on a paper by David Raup and John Sepkoski, two respected paleontologists, making the remarkable claim that great catastrophes occur on the Earth every 26 million years,
The Cosmic Clock, the Cycle of Terrestrial Mass Extinctions - Paper by J. A. Marusek. A dual cycle of extinction events is observed and well ordered in geological time. Two primary mechanisms, Oort cloud comet impacts and nearby supernova events are synchronized to the passage of the solar system through the spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy. [PDF]
The Late Devonian Mass Extinction - A professional technical paper discussing whether the Late Devonian (Frasnian-Famennian) mass extinction was initiated by an extraterrestrial impact or an earth-bound event. [PDF]
The Role of Extinction in Evolution - Paper by David M Raup, Department of Geophysical Sciences, University of Chicago. [PDF]
What Factors May Lead to Periodic Mass Extinctions? - Article by Steve Brusatte.
