Geology & Environmental Earth Science: Research Articles and Journals
Library Databases
We subscribe to many databases that might be useful for your research.
If you are studying geochemistry, SciFinder, a chemistry database, might also be useful.
- AAPG Datapages This link opens in a new window
Serving the needs of petroleum geology professionals and students, AAPG Datapages provides access to articles, book chapters, and conference proceedings from AAPG, SEPM and about 20 other journals and conferences.
- Applied Science & Technology with Full Text This link opens in a new windowApplied Science and Technology full-text contains indexing and abstracts for nearly 800 core English-language, scientific and technical publications back to 1983. full-text of articles is available from more than 220 periodicals dating back to 1997, including page images that provide access to original illustrations, charts and photographs.
- Elsevier Reference Collection: Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences This link opens in a new windowThis Reference Collection forms the definitive source for those entering, researching or teaching in any of the many disciplines making up this interdisciplinary area of study. This resource is designed to serve as an in depth and comprehensive compendium of Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences. Consists of over 11,000 book chapters and 35 major reference works. Users may encounter content in this database the library has not purchased.
- Environment Complete This link opens in a new windowEnvironment Complete is a leading full-text database for environmental studies.

It also includes millions of records and an environmental thesaurus.
- Geobase (Engineering Village) This link opens in a new windowGeobase is a database, within Engineering Village, of indexed research literature unequalled in its coverage of the international geoscience literature. Topics include: earth sciences, ecology, geology, human and physical geography, environmental sciences, oceanography, geomechanics, alternative energy sources, pollution, waste management and nature conservation.
- GeoScience World This link opens in a new windowGeoScience World (GSW) works with societies, institutions, and researchers around the world and provides a single source of access to preeminent scholarly journals, e-books, and over 4 million GeoRef records with specialized and map-based search capabilities and links to curated earth science research around the Web. Users may encounter content in this database the library has not purchased.
- Nature This link opens in a new windowProvides full-text search capabilities for the publications of the Nature Publishing Group ranging from the basic journal Nature to specific titles. Users may encounter content in this database the library has not purchased.
- ScienceDirect This link opens in a new windowScienceDirect provides access to more than 18 million articles and book chapters from over 1,750 active journals and 39,000 books to help users discover more novel science, use their time efficiently, and make decisions with the highest-quality scientific information. Content covers physical sciences, engineering, life sciences, health sciences, social sciences and humanities.
- SciFinderN This link opens in a new window
Users must create an account, providing your @miamioh.edu e-mail address, in order to use SciFinderN. The same login will work for either SciFinder or SciFinderN.
SciFinder-n is a newer version of SciFinder, and still provides access to journal articles, dissertations, abstracts, and patents in chemistry and biomedicine. Search for literature or for chemical records by research topic, author, chemical substance or reaction, document identifier, and company/organization name. New features include MethodsNow Synthesis and PatentPak.
