Earth Sciences Subject Guides:
Hydrogeology
Indexes will lead you to articles in journals and series and papers
in conference proceedings, as well as technical reports. There are
2 indexes of major importance for Hydrogeology: Water Resources
Abstracts (WRA) and Water Resources Scientific Information Center
(WRSIC). From 1967 through 1993 Selected Water Resources (SWRA)
was produced by USGS. In 1994, USGS cancelled production of SWRA,
and it is now available on the internet as WRSIC. The SWRA was reborn
at Cambridge Scientfic as Water Resources Abstracts (WRA), with
a changed coverage, but with the old file intact.

life, physical and social sciences and the related engineering and
legal aspects of the characteristics, supply condition, conservation,
control, use, or management of water resources.

Publisher: Cambridge Scientific Abstracts
Contents: Search, separately or combined, 13 files offering abstracts
for the worldwide literature covering the environmental sciences
including air, land, water and noise pollution, bacteriology, ecology,

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 Julie
Sweetkind-Singer (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

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.
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 SearchWorks —
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:

WARNING: If you have not used any of the Hydrogeology
CD-Rom products before, plan either to come into the library Mon-Friday
1-5 PM or email to branner@pangea
for an appointment to learn how to use them. Stanford Only.
Note: For GIS Data sets see: Branner

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
Stanford Community Members Only, Please
Real-time hydrologic data are considered provisional, which imposes
limitations on its use. Read U.S. Geological Survey Circular,
1123: Stream-Gaging Program of the U.S. Geological Survey before
using this data. [Shelved at 550.6.U58c no.1123 in Branner Library.]
