Why GEOBASE on Engineering Village

GEOBASE is indexed specifically for geoscientists using GEOTREE (REGTREE / ORGTREE), making search results consistently accurate and relevant. By using GEOBASE on Engineering Village, geoscientists get full access to powerful search features and tools that help them save time, locate critical information and stay current. Engineering Village's unique mapping tool uses Google Maps technology to put results in a geographic context:

  • Visualize a topic's associations with different areas of the world or geological features
  • Facilitate discovery of features or locations not initially associated with a topic
  • Encourage a third dimension of insight and easy narrowing of results
  • Access to citation counts, citation details and author profiles from Scopus
