Engineering-oriented search helps users to quickly pinpoint the data and background information they seek.

Knovel now provides access to 75 essential references for earth sciences as part of its online collection.

The new earth science subject area enables subscribers in infrastructure construction, oil and gas, civil engineering and many other fields to rely on Knovel as a single place to obtain reliable answers quickly.

The new titles span: climatology, geochemistry, geology, geomechanics, geophysics, glaciology, hydrology, mineralogy, oceanography, paleontology, petrology, seismology, soil science and stratigraphy.

According to Delores Meglio, VP for Content Development at Knovel: "Based on requests from our subscribers, we've introduced titles from prestigious publishers such as Elsevier, Cambridge University Press, Springer and John Wiley and Sons".

"Engineers at our clients need access from remote locations, so adding these titles to our online collection gives them access anywhere they have an Internet connection".

"And our engineering-oriented search helps them to quickly pinpoint the data and background information they seek".

Titles of particular note that will be included in the collection include: "A geology for engineers" (7th Edition): "Encyclopaedia of geology": "Engineering properties of rocks": "Ground improvement - case histories": "Handbook of coal analysis" and "Manual of applied field hydrogeology".
