The report describes a system for organizing a set of topics and related literature references in a selected field of the earth sciences. The concept of a drainage basin was selected to illustrate a conceptually-distinct field of research of interest to geologists and physical geographers. Problems associated with coding and integration of the relevant literature are pointed out. The concept of a drainage basin, initially selected as a fairly self-contained subject, was found to be more complex than originally realized. To keep the report within reasonable bounds, the subject was subdivided into several major topics, which include first the geometry of the basin considered as a physical object definable as a natural subdivision of the earth's land surface. This is followed by various attributes associated with the basin, such as soils and bedrock, streams and subsurface water in the basin, and climatic features. The system used includes three types of punched cards. The first relates to the topics discussed, the second ties in the relevant literature, and the third provides comments and specific references to individual items. Machine print-outs provide tabulated examples of the system, and a condensed bibliography of drainage-basin literature is given. (Author).

"Unearthing the Reference Tables is an excellent and thorough guide to the reference tables with clearly explained step-by-step examples for each table. A great tool for the Earth Science Regents!" - Mrs. Tzippy Reich, highly-acclaimed author of Earth Science Simplified and Earth Science teacher; Brooklyn, NY "The students found your book very helpful for the regents. The diagrams and information were very clear and precise." - Y. Possick, principal; Monsey, NY "Unearthing the Reference Tables is an invaluable aid in deciphering the Earth Science Reference Tables - a key part in doing well on the New York State Earth Science Regents." - F. Lipson, Earth Science teacher; Monsey, NY"A real lifesaver for me! Your book made it possible for me to pass the Earth Science Regents." - B. K., student; Brooklyn, NY Did you know that about 35-50% of every Earth Science Regents is composed of questions entirely based on the Earth Science Reference Tables? And did you know that a raw score of approximately 50% on the Earth Science Regents converts to a scale score of 65%? (with at least 9/16 lab credits) If you know how to read every table on the Earth Science Reference Tables, that's terrific. But what if you don't? Gaining a clear understanding of the reference tables is crucial for the Earth Science Regents. The good news is that one of the best-kept secrets of the Earth Science regents is that the reference tables-based questions are the easiest part of the regents by far - if you know how to use the reference tables. That's where this book comes in. Unearthing the Reference Tables: A Clear & Simple Reference Tables Guide is a book that: Gives step-by-step instructions in clear and simple terms on how to easily decipher each one of the 28 charts on the Earth Science Reference Tables Highlights important information often asked on the Earth Science Regents Provides actual regents questions at the end of each section, along with answers and brief explanations

This new edition includes 10,000 entries which cover all areas of geoscience, including planetary science, oceanography, palaeontology, mineralogy and volcanology. In this edition, 675 new entries have been added, and include expanded coverage of planetary geology and earth-observing-satellites. Other new entries terms such as Ianammox, Boomerangian, earth rheological layering, and metamorphic rock classification. The entries are also complemented by more than 130 diagrams and numerous web links that are listed on a regularly updated dedicated companion website. Appendices supplement the A-Z and have been extended to include three new tables on the Torino Impact Hazard Scale, Avalanche Classes, and the Volcanic Explosivity Index. The list of satellite missions has also been revised and updated to include recent developments. A Dictionary of Geology and Earth Sciences is an authoritative, and jargon-free resource for students of geology, geography, geosciences, physical science, and those in related disciplines.
