Stanford Only.
Earthquake, geochemical, rainfall, streamflow, and other data sets
of interest to earth scientists are enumerated on the relevant earth science subject
pages. For
any of the CD-Rom products, plan either to come into the library
Mon-Friday 1-5 PM.

Search SOCRATES —
Stanford's Web-based Catalog for data sets on cd-roms or other
media that can be checked out. For best results go to Socrates'
expert screen: using an everything field, type "cd or
compact or disk or disks or discs or disc or diskette?" AND the
subject for which you want the data. For example for earthquakes
you might search "earthquake or earthquakes or seismic or seismology"
in another everything field. If you retrieve too much either
use subject instead of everything OR add the place
that you want, for example: subject California. To request
additional data sets or help in locating information: send email
to branner@pangea.stanford.edu
