Geodynamics Database-Windows

Multimedia Geodynamics Database. CD-ROM mounted on the C workstation in Branner Library, OBTAIN FROM THE REFERENCE DESK IN BRANNER.

Summary: A Multimedia Database of information on 1,508 volcanoes and 89,094 earthquakes worldwide. Program permits plotting earthquake and volcano sites on maps of user's choice, including full color topographic world maps (5 min.) and U.S. (30 second). Coastlines can be drawn in high resolution and national borders may be included. Data available for each volcano and earthquake may be displayed and cross sections of earthquake foci between any two points on a Mercator map may be drawn. Includes archive of 143 visuals covering 6 topics. Supports searching, display, transport, and printing.

Marine Geology & Geophysics Images

Images available for downloading include: Crustal Ages of the World Ocean draped on relief map, GEOSAT Image of the Southern Ocean, and Sediment Thickness of the Oceans.

SEDIMENTARY PROVINCES OF THE WORLD: hydrocarbon productive and nonproductive

CD-ROM mounted on the C workstation in Branner Library, OBTAIN FROM THE CIRCULATION DESK IN BRANNER.

Summary: A digitized reference map showing more than 700 sedimentary basins.
