Research and theory in geophysics, geochemistry, sedimentology, geomorphology, petrology, plate tectonics, volcanology, structural geology, mineralogy, and planetary sciences. Tables of contents available.
 
A search engine for those in geo
environmental professions, covering the topics of geotechnology, environment, hydrogeology, geology, mining and petroleum. Searchable indexes of related companies, associations, educational establishments and governmental departments are also available.
 
Online magazine of geology and environment with information in English and Italian. Resources include: university sites, courses, conference, newsgroups, software.
 
Historical, geological, and cultural account of the small island in the Firth of Lorn, Argyll. Depicts the rise of the slate quarrying industry in the eighteenth century and the storm which led to its gradual decline in 1881. Also provides details of local businesses, a collection of pictures of and from the island, and information for tourists.
 
The GeoRef database provides access to the geoscience literature of the world. The database contains over two million references to geoscience journal articles, books, maps, conference papers, reports and theses.
 
Resources for keeping track of the Earth's magnetic field throughout Canada. Includes short
and long-term magnetic activity forecasts and plots of one-minute variations of the geomagnetic field. An in-depth geomagnetic hazards section discusses effects of magnetic storms on power systems, pipelines, and communication cables.
 
An international journal on the geophysical, geochemical, petrological, economic and environmental aspects of volcanology and geothermal research.
 
GGG is a purely electronic journal, with no paper edition. It aims to use true multimedia data types in the presentation of a paper, such as animations, sound, video, active computer models, etc.
 
Information about research into the causes of geological phenomena, focusing on geomagnetism, landslides, and earthquakes. Offers interactive maps, images, and data.
 
OUP journal. Topics include trace element and isotope geochemistry and geochronology applied to petrogenesis; experimental petrology; processes of magma generation, differentiation and emplacement; quantitative studies of rock
forming minerals and their paragenesis; regional studies of igneous and meta morphic rocks which contribute to the solution of fundamental petrological problems; theoretical modelling of petrogenetic processes.
 
The Geology Library has more than 100,000 volumes and 46,000 geologic maps, including all publications of the US Geological Survey, publications of most state geological surveys, and those of many foreign countries. Regional emphasis is on the Southwestern United States, Texas, and Mexico.
 
Open
file report using a slideshow format to present work completed and methods used to edit and interpret aeromagnetic data in Alaska. Topics include an aeromagnetic history of Alaska, crustal-scale interpretation and instructions on making a magnetic quilt.
 
GRASS is a public domain geographic information system (GIS) used for data management, image processing, graphics production, spatial modelling, and visualisation of many types of data.
 
The UK national centre for earth science information, founded in 1835. Its primary functions are to maintain and revise geological information for the land and offshore areas of the United Kingdom and the nearby continental shelf. Its work relates directly to mineral, energy and groundwater resources, land use, geological hazards, and the protection of the environment.
