Earth Sciences Subject Guides:
Environmental Geochemistry
Indexes will lead you to articles in journals and series and papers
in conference proceedings, as well as technical reports. Chemical
Abstracts and Environmental
Sciences and Pollution Management Databases or ESPM are the
most important indexes for research in Environmental Geochemistry.
The choice of other indexes to use in addition
to these will depend greatly upon what aspect(s) of the discipline
is being studied: Pollution of groundwater, ozone layers, etc.

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 SearchWorks'
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
