File Description [top]

GeoArchive is a comprehensive database covering all types of information sources in geoscience, hydroscience, and environmental science. The criteria for inclusion in GeoArchive are that the source should be publicly available and have relevant information content, even if the reference is to a small news item in a magazine. GeoArchive, produced by Geosystems, provides international coverage of over 5,000 serials, books from over 2,000 publishers, geological maps, and doctoral dissertations. It is indexed using Geosaurus, the hierarchical thesaurus that classifies references by subject, geography, and stratigraphy, and includes an alphabetical index of around 30,000 terms available from the producer. The printed publications Geotitles, Hydrotitles, Geoscience Documentation, and the Bibliography of Economic Geology are derived from GeoArchive.
