2. Scott, Mary Woods, 1981, Annotated bibliography of the geology of North Dakota,1960-1979, North Dakota Geological Survey Miscellaneous Series No. 60. Grand Forks, ND: North Dakota Geological Survey, 287 p.
3. Greenwood, Larry; Heck, Thomas J.; Biek, Robert F.; and Bluemle, John P., 1996, Bibliography of the Geology of North Dakota, 1980-1993, North Dakota Miscellaneous Series No. 83. Bismarck, ND: North Dakota Geological Survey, 370 p.
4. Post-1993 updates, and other additions.

A comprehensive report (658 p.) of Glacial Lake Agassiz written in 1895. This publication is volume 25 of the U.S. Geological Survey Monograph series. NOW AVAILABLE FULL TEXT ONLINE!

Electronic data for use in Geographic Information Systems, image processing systems or the
traditional database environment.

Spatial data resources of North Dakota developed and housed within the state.

A service to help you locate use, and share environmental information about your place.

Water resources information for North Dakota from the U.S. Geological Survey regarding streamflow conditions, other hydrologic data, and publications.

A comprehensive crystal structure database maintained by the Mineralogical Society of America and the Mineralogocal Association of Canada.

The web presence of American Rivers, a nonprofit organization of US river activists founded in 1973 to increase the number of rivers protected by the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Systems.

An image library providing thin sections of some 40 minerals, as well as seperately organized images of plutonic, volcanic, and metamorphic microtextures.

Digital photos of approximately 3,000 fossil specimens as well as notebooks, journals, letters and expeditions of some collectors from the American Museum of Natural History.

The Geoscience Digital Image Library (GeoDIL) is a collection of high quality slides and photos of earth science images. These images are intended primarily as a teaching and learning resource for K-16 educators and students.

Links to all things geology.

Provides data, photographs, essays, and info. on the Arctic, North Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea, and the Barents Euro-Arctic region. Info on every aspect of Arctic history, climate, resources, animal and plant life and current scientific research.

A service to help you locate use, and share environmental information about your place.

To some, the terms folds, faults, and shear zones might suggest a type of elaborate and cutting-edge style of origami. Those in the know will think
immediately of the field of structural geology, and this site is a fine resource for information within that area of geology. Rob Butler, Martin
Casey, Geoff Lloyd, and Andrew McCaig, all of whom work in the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Leeds, created these teaching resources.

"Reference Maps include a variety of map types that show the boundaries and names of geographic areas for which the Census Bureau tabulates statistical data."

Access to 7.5 quadrangle maps (USGS topographic maps) into digital line graph (DLG) formats.

"The Census Geocoder is an address look-up tool that converts your address to an approximate coordinate (latitude/longitude) and returns information about the address range that includes the address and the census geography the address is within."

Access to all of the U.S. Geological Surveys products, paper and electronic. Electronic data includes Digital Elevation Models or DEMs, DLGs, Digital Raster Graphics or DRGs and Land Use Land Cover data or LULC.

USGS makes information available about volcanic activity in the US and around the world.
