Useful Databases
Most of the resources you'll use in your classes, research, and projects will be peer-reviewed, scientific articles. You'll find those in our library databases.
Some of our databases cover many different disciplines, while others focus on just one or two related areas. Click the links below to jump directly to some very useful geoscience- and geography-related databases, or visit the A-Z Database Page to look at the whole list.
