Geosciences: Sedimentology & Stratigraphy: Internet Resources

Aims to reconcile the international stratigraphic standards with many of the regional and archaic naming schemes that appear in the literature.

An international society dedicated to the dissemination of scientific information on sedimentology geology.

Founded in 1952 to promote the study of sedimentology.

Links for online sources pertaining to sedimentology.

A collection of website links and contact information for sedimentary geologists.

The largest and oldest constituent scientific body in the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS). Its primary objective is to precisely define global units (systems, series, and stages) of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart that, in turn, are the basis for the units (periods, epochs, and age) of the International Geologic Time Scale; thus setting global standards for the fundamental scale for expressing the history of the Earth.

Over 160,000 publications written by USGS scientists over the century-plus history of the bureau.

A collection of links for resources relating to global warming and climate change.
