Environmental Sciences

BIOSIS citation index combines Biosis Previews with Citation Information and is a reference database for life science research. It includes cited references to primary journal literature on biological research, medical research findings, and discoveries of new organisms.

Produced by the Dept. of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts, the Australian Heritage Database contains information about more than 20,000 natural, historic and Indigenous places. The database includes places in the World Heritage List, places in the National Heritage List, places in the Commonwealth Heritage list, places in the Register of the National Estate, places in the List of Overseas Places of Historic Significance to Australia, places under consideration, or that may have been considered for, any one of these lists. Photographs of the place (if available) are included through links to the Australian heritage photographic library.

Part of the Biological sciences and Environmental sciences and pollution management clusters on the ProQuest platform, this online searchable version of the print abstracts covers aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems as well as human ecology. This is mainly a citation and abstracts database, with some linking to full text. Coverage extends from 1982.

The Agricultural & Environmental Science Database includes the AGRICOLA, Environmental Science and pollution management (ESPM) and Environmental impact statements (EIS) and provides full-text titles from around the world, including scholarly journals, trade and industry journals, magazines, technical reports, conference proceedings, government publications, and more.

Produced by EBSCO, GreenFILE is a freely accessible searchable research database focusing on the relationship between human beings & the environment.

Produced by Elsevier Science and part of the Engineering Village platform, this database indexes journals, books, conference proceedings and reports in the earth sciences, including geology, human and physical geography, environmental sciences, oceanography, geomechanics, alternative energy sources, pollution, waste management and nature conservation.

Is a database that contains the full text of more than 1,800 Elsevier Science journals, as well as citations and abstracts of other journals. Over 2,000 peer-reviewed journals are indexed. Subject coverage emphasizes the life, medical, technical, and physical sciences, but there is also coverage of the arts, humanities, social sciences and psychology. Coverage is selective full-text.

Scopus is a multidisciplinary abstract and citation database. It covers a large number of peer-reviewed journals in the scientific, technical, medical and social science fields, from an extensive range of international publishers. Also indexed are open access journals, conference proceedings, book series and trade publications, as well as patent records. References go back to 1996, while abstracts go back further. Linking to full-text articles is available.

Web of Science consists of 3 citation databases containing information from thousands of scholarly journals in all areas of research. The databases contain the references cited by the authors of the journal articles they cover. The cited references can be used as search terms, allowing a published work to be used to find other, later works that cite it. In addition, the databases can be searched by topic, author, source title, and address.

The AGU Digital Library is a comprehensive collection of more than 100 years of earth and space science research as published in the American Geophysical Union's journals. The library contains articles from journals dating back to 1896. Full text and Boolean searching across publications is available. Book titles will be added as they are available.

Produced by Elsevier Science and part of the Engineering Village platform, this database indexes journals, books, conference proceedings and reports in the earth sciences, including geology, human and physical geography, environmental sciences, oceanography, geomechanics, alternative energy sources, pollution, waste management and nature conservation. It includes citations and abstracts published in several print abstracting journals: Geographical abstracts : Human geography; Geographical abstracts : Physical geography; International development abstracts; the Geological abstracts series (Geophysics and tectonics, Economic geology, Palaeontology and stratigraphy, Sedimentary geology); Mineralogical abstracts; and Ecological abstracts. Database coverage extends from 1980.

The GeoRef database, established by the American Geological Institute (AGI) in 1966, provides primarily citation and abstracts access to the geoscience literature of the world. The database contains references to geoscience journal articles, books, maps, conference papers, reports and theses. It covers the geology of North America from 1693 to the present and the geology of the rest of the world from 1933 to the present. References to all publications of the U.S. Geological Survey are included. Masters' theses and doctoral dissertations from US and Canadian universities are also covered. Included is the GeoRef in process database which contains records that are in the process of being indexed prior to their integration in the main GeoRef database. Some full text is available by linking to subscribed journals.

Covers risk arising from industrial, technological, environmental, and other sources, with an emphasis on assessment and management.
