Reference Databases

Carleton subscribes to a number of reference databases we use to survey geological publications. Generally speaking, no research proposal in geology is accepted without a full understanding of the background of an issue and conventional wisdom regarding interpretation. These are the major databases used in geology coursework and research at Carleton.
