Internet Resources
For those who have access to the internet and a graphical web browser such as Mosaic or Netscape, the following web pages provide free access to some of the leading research databases in the field. Data includes world and local earthquake seismicity maps, as well as digital records of major world earthquakes. Furthermore, these sites often include listings of numerous other resources, including books, pamphlets, and other teaching materials, and are often cross referenced to aid in searching other related web sites. Some sites also provide free access to online versions of their printed publications.
