Literature & Databases

• Zobler World Soils Data Set
  A global mapping of soil types by USGS using a number of interesting classification systems.
• UnCover Literature Search Service
  Search thousands of journals (on all subjects, that is) and they can provide a copy of the article you find (at some cost) - Works via telnet, so even a simple terminal emulator will do.
  @ For inquiries: in N. America; or if you are elsewhere.
• GEOBASE on CD-ROM: Earthdisc
  A database of literature on Geology, Physical Geography and Oceanography. Published by
  @ SUCCEED Geotechnical Engineering
  NSF's SUCCEED Engineering Visual Database. This is a huge database of pictures - The Geotechnical engineering entry contains everything from a Vulcan Pile Driving Hammer to a Sinkhole in Florida!
  @ For submissions: Alice Walker
  
• SGI-Line – Swedish Geotechnical Institute
  SGI-Line is a database containing references to international geotechnical geoenvironmental literature in a broad context. The database is one of a small number in the world specialised in geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering and produced by the Swedish Geotechnical Institute.
  The SGI-Line contains some 70.000 references, most of them with abstracts and/or table of contents, and is annually expanded with about 2.000. Most references added in recent years links to further information, full-text documents or abstracts/table of contents.
