Geoscience WWW

Getting started on the Internet and WWW for Geoscientists

This page was prepared in conjunction with an article I wrote entitled "Accessing and Delivering Geoscience Information via the Internet" which is due to appear in The Geoscientist thematic issue on Geoscience Information (Vol. 4, No.6). You can read the article originally submitted by clicking here.

The following links are a useful selection of starting points for Internet and WWW exploration for people interested in geoscience.

The WWW Virtual Library - Earth Sciences
U.S.G.S. Registry of Earth and Environmental Science Internet Resources
On-line Resources for Earth Scientists (ORES)
sci.geo.geology FAQs
Geoscientists and the Internet (Malcolm McClure)

If you want to find out more about the Internet and WWW in general try:

Getting Started with the World Wide Web
Big Dummy's Guide to the Internet

(The last two links may not work for some users of Windows Mosaic - it seems that Windows Mosaic, PC-NFS and Mac HTTP servers do not yet peacefully coexist!)
