STM Publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, and the Society of Economic Geologists (SEG) have announced the inclusion of maps from SEG's flagship Economic Geology journal into Geofacets, Elsevier's research tool for geoscientists working in exploration. The joint effort means that geoscientists in the metals and mining, and oil and gas industries can now access over 250,000 maps via Geofacets, including about 15,000 that have been published in Economic Geology over the past 107 years.
With SEG's established presence in the metals and mining industry, and Economic Geology being a premier publication for geologists seeking to understand, describe and discover ore deposits, this collaboration significantly increases the value of Geofacets for geologists focused on metals and mineral exploration.
Launched by Elsevier in 2010 and used by companies around the world, Geofacets offers map-based searching and filters that allow quick discovery and download of georeferenced geological maps. Its large database includes maps from Elsevier's top Earth science journals, as well as esteemed publications of the Society for Sedimentary Geology (SEPM), the Geological Society of London and most recently, SEG.
The Society of Economic Geologists' content is now available to Geofacets users.
