GeoBase
GeoBase® is a multidisciplinary database that deeply indexes research literature across the earth sciences including geology, human and physical geography, environmental sciences, oceanography and geomechanics. Spanning over 25 years (1980-present) of research literature, GeoBase addresses increasingly important environmental issues such as alternative energy sources, pollution, waste management and nature conservation. Covering over 2,000 titles including peer-reviewed journals, trade publications, book series and conference proceedings, GeoBase has the most international coverage of any database in the field.
Searching GeoBase in combination with other databases such as GeoRef, Compendex, and Inspec on Engineering Village ensures exhaustive results.
Engineering Village’s new mapping tool plots geographic locations included in GeoBase search results on a digital map, using Google Maps technology to provide a powerful visualization of result information. The mapping tool plots data from Engineering Village’s newest content offering, the American Geological Institute’s GeoRef.
