Subscriber Log-in
The Groundwater and Soil Contamination (GSC) database is
available on a subscription basis through the AGI website. This database is
searchable on the web using keywords, authors, titles, or publication dates.
The GSC database is produced by the same staff, and the indexing and format
follow the same conventions used in production
of the well-known GeoRef
database.
The GSC database includes more than 141,050
bibliographic references to the worldwide literature on this subject. Coverage is worldwide, with emphasis on
the United States. Journal articles, books, conference proceedings, theses and
dissertations are included. Also covered are all relevant reports of the U.S.
Geological Survey, and reports of the U.S. Departments of Energy, Defense,
Health and Human Services, and the Interior, and the Environmental Protection Agency. The GSC database is updated on a weekly basis.
References contain complete bibliographic information and URLs for documents
published on the web. Thorough indexing, based on the controlled vocabulary found
in the GeoRef Thesaurus, is included. Specific geographic locations are listed as
place names and, for principal locations, latitude and longitude coordinates are
provided. Entries include ISSNs as well as information about publishers and the
availability of the documents cited.
