Inside GeoRef & GEOBASE
Access global geosciences content from two trusted resources in one place. Engineering Village’s powerful search tools leverage geosciences controlled terms in the GEOBASE and GeoRef databases, providing intelligence and insight that help researchers drive progress forward.
Engineering Village’s new mapping tool plots geographical locations from GeoRef and GEOBASE search results on a digital map, giving further insight into the geographical context of results.
