    CAGEO List of Issues Computers & Geosciences is a journal devoted to all aspects of computing in the geosciences. (Full text)
    Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences One of the most respected Earth science publications in the world, the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, which publishes manuscripts in English and French, is recognized for its wide-ranging coverage of research findings in geophysics, paleontology, structural geology, tectonics, mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, stratigraphy, glacial geology, and related Earth science topics, and its special issues, which concentrate on a particular segment of the Earth science field published in it.
    Canadian Mineralogist One of the principal functions of the Mineralogical Association of Canada is the publication of the scientific journal, The Canadian Mineralogist, six times per year. This Journal provides a forum for scientists, both national and international, to publish in English or French, the results of their research in the fields of mineralogy, crystallography, petrology, geochemistry and mineral deposits.
    Chemical Geology
    European Journal of Mineralogy The European Journal of Mineralogy (EJM) was founded in 1988 to reach a large audience on an international scale and also for achieving closer cooperation of European countries in the publication of scientific papers.
    FTPYRS: GSA Data Repository, year selector View contents and abstracts for GSA BULLETIN , GEOLOGY or GSA TODAY! Electronic copies of entries from 1992 are downloadable from the FTP site. Although these files are in Adobe Acrobat format, each carries the "bin" filename-extension (ex: 9201.bin)* which you must change to the Acrobat "pdf" filename extension (ex: 9201.pdf) before viewing in an Acrobat reader. Usually, you can change this extension in the "save as" dialog box you get when you click to download an entry.

    Rock forming minerals

    ATHENA: MINERALOGY; Pierre Perroud Here are mineral lists (IMA approved mineral names and varieties names, updated middle 1997) sorted either alphabetically or arranged systematically. As every science, mineralogy is changing: new analysis often modify formulas and other datas; new minerals are discovered; others are discredited.
    MAIN MINERAL AGGREGATES For the description of mineral aggregates, I use partially published Stepanov's classification, modified by our team. The generally accepted international classification completely adduced in C.Hill's and P.Forti's classical work, "Cave Minerals of the World", just like Maksimovich's popular classification with its several variants, have a number of serious errors with relation to the systematism of their construction, and therefore, they can not be successfully applied to Cupp- - Coutunn.
