Only.
Geobase (1980 - present) covers the worldwide literature on geography,
geology, ecology, their related disciplines. In particular, coverage
includes: climatology, landforms, mineralogy, photogrammetry, remote
sensing and tectonics. It is the online version of Geographical
Abstracts.
Geoarchive (1974 - present) is a British geoscience database, covering
geology, geochemistry, geophysics, paleontology, stratigraphy, mathematical
geology, planetology, oceanology, and engineering geology. Particular
emphasis is given to economic geology, hydrology, water resources,
environment, and conservation. Coverage is considered worldwide.
Pascal (1973 - present) is a multidisciplinary database produced
by the CNRS (France). It covers all aspects of the earth sciences,
as well as biology, chemistry, civil engineering energy, and physics.
These databases are available at cost from Dialog. Request a database
search as needed; send email to cderksen@marine Stanford Only.
1785 - Present. Summary: The American Geological Institute's geoscience
database containing over 2.2 million records of North America since
1785 and other areas of the world since 1933. It is the equivalent
of four major reference publications: Bibliography of North American
Geology; Bibliography and index of Geology exclusive of North America;
Geophysical abstracts; and, Bibliography and index of Geology. Help
is available at the site.
Endnote users: there is a filter for importing records
from CSA's version of GeoRef, available from Endnote.
None of the CSA provided files are yet searchable using EndNote's
Z39.50 capability.
The GeoRef Preview Database
consists of references to recent geoscience publications. Caution:
This data is in process for inclusion in GEOREF. It may not yet
have been indexed, been given a translated title, or been checked
by a GEOREF editor when you see it. Each weekend, completed references
are removed from the Preview database and transferred to GeoRef,
new references are added, and changes are made in the remaining
data. Two views of the database are available: Subject and Journal.
A word search is also provided. The word search includes all words
in the reference, the abstract, if any, and index terms, if the
reference has already been indexed.
The GeoRef
In Process database or GRIP file is now available from CSA only.
Stanford Only. GRIP consists of references to documents
published before 1995. The references are from databases and print
bibliographies produced by surveys or institutions in: Canada, China,
the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the
Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Russia or Spain. These In-Process
Records are being edited and indexed, and on completion, will be
transferred out of GeoRef in Process, into GeoRef.
The last 10 years are available. Stanford Only.

Summary: Subjects covered include: Geochemistry, Geology, Geophysics,
Drilling, Reservoir Engineering & Recovery Methods, Well Logging
from the worldwide literature on upstream petroleum operations.
Included are conference proceedings, journal articles, government
reports, books and patent filings. Paper index available in Branner
library covers 1964-present. A guide
to search commands is available.
GEOLEX is a search tool for lithologic and geochronologic unit
names. It replaces the Stratigraphic Nomenclature Databases For
The United States, Its Possessions And Territories or Lexicon.
Summary: Data compiled from published geologic literature of the
U.S. Geological Survey and may be sorted by geographic name, stratigraphic
rank, age, geologic province or region, state, author, and specified
keywords. Information on more than 10,000 stratigraphic-unit names
from the GNULEX database and 20,000 unit names from GEONAMES database
are included.
For stratigraphic units not in the United States, consult the:
Lexique Stratigraphique International at QE645.I57 in the
Branner Library Reference section.
The database indexes geologic, geophysical, geochemical, geochronologic,
and paleontologic information. Listed are maps produced by the U.S.
Geological Survey, some state geological surveys, and other institutions;
coverage is primarily that of U.S. areas. Currently, the database
covers primarily, the USGS thematic map series: Geologic Quadrangles,
Folios, etc. USGS Open-file maps and state survey maps are in the
process of being indexed.
An index to the formal Publications of The USGS:
Bulletins, Professional Papers, Circulars, Water-Supply Papers,
and Thematic Maps is available; this index includes access only
by title words. For author index or for a more comprehensive index
of USGS publications, including Open-file reports and Water Resources
Investigations, use GEOREF,
or the Search Publications
of the USGS. Both of these databases (GeoRef and Pubs of the
USGS) contain references to USGS publications issued 1880-2000;
213 references to reports of the Hayden, King, Powell, and Wheeler
surveys; 15,227 references to non-Survey publications by Survey
authors which appeared in GEOREF from 1983 to Feb. 1989. Coverage
of Open-File reports before 1971 is incomplete. For some Bulletins,
Professional papers, and Open-File reports which have chapters,
there are separate references for each chapter. Many USGS publications
are also listed by author and title in SOCRATES,
Stanford's Web-based Catalog .
Use SOCRATES —
Stanford's Web-based Catalog to find the location of needed books,
journals, maps, data files, and technical reports.
If you can't find what you need in SOCRATES, check other
Library catalogs or send a question to (Stanford
only) to Branner Reference staff: at branner@pangea.stanford.edu.
If Stanford doesn't have a document (article, map, book, report)
that you need, fill out the appropriate online form:
- Document Delivery Request Forms:
- Request for yourself from RLCP
Libraries: UC-B or UT-Austin
Listed here are a selected few of the dictionaries and handbooks
available in Branner and Swain libraries, designed to give you a
flavor of the types of information available. Either come in and
browse the shelves or browse Socrates
if you can't find the information you need in one of these.
Located in the Branner Library Reference collection: QE645.I57
1956 Library has:
- v.1 Europe
- v.2 U.R.S.S.
- v.3 Asie
- v.4 Afrique
- v.5 Amerique du Sud
- v.6 Oceanie
- v.7 Amerique du Nord.
- v.8 Termes stratigraphiques majeurs
A few scattered volumes of the second edition have been published.
The United States volume is up-to-date and has been published as GEOLEX
or GEONAMES (U.S. Geological Survey, 1996).
Note: For GIS Data sets see: Branner
Library GIS Data Collection and Web
Sites for Digital GIS Data.
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
