This guide contains information about databases, data resources, and books of interest to members of the Earth & Planetary Sciences Department at Yale.

Important Updates

If you are not on campus right now, please visit our remote access page.

  • Most library resources are available via a URL proxy prefix, but you can also download and install the VPN. Being connected to the VPN makes our electronic resources behave as if you were connected to YaleSecure.
  • Resources accessed from the library website and catalog will automatically use the off-campus access URL prefix. If you are off-campus, not on the VPN, and NOT accessing a resource through the library website, the prefix is https://yale.idm.oclc.org/login?url= ... and you would get to JSTOR by putting that in front of the JSTOR URL: https://yale.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://jstor.org
  • Sometimes, we have access to a resource through an aggregator, not the publisher's website. In those cases, checking the library website for access is very useful.

We have a purchase request form if you need something that is not currently available. For questions about open access publishing, information about our open access memberships is available here.

Welcome

Welcome to the Earth & Planetary Sciences (formerly Geology & Geophysics) subject guide. Here, you will find:

  • Reference data in Earth & Planetary Sciences (and tips for locating best practices).
  • A primer on the library's subscription databases, what they do, and how you can use them.
  • Information on using the library's subscription resources, including GeoRef.
  • How to locate ebooks and other content.

Depending on your field, you may also be interested in the Paleontology subject guide, the Geotrip how-to guide for finding field guides & maps, or the Geographic Information Systems guide.

New e- and Print Books

Recent titles in geology and geophysics. Please click on each title to view the resource. Searches for geology (here), geophysics (here), atmospheric science (here), and oceanography (here) provide access to lists of recent titles. There are 4 RSS feeds among the links below, so what is on display here is limited.

Please email me or use the Schedule Appointment button. In-person and virtual (Zoom) appointments are both possible. Please note that Science Hill is a 15-minute walk from central campus, and there is a temporary entrance due to construction.

My default ONSITE days are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. During the semester (not during breaks!), I am onsite on Thursdays. I am OFFSITE most Mondays.
