Overview
Welcome to the Earth and Planetary Science research guide. Here you will find a collection of Rutgers Libraries resources for research on earth and planetary science. We highlight books and databases accessible through Rutgers Libraries, as well as information on resources outside of Rutgers, such as, data repositories, federal agencies and organizations, and interactive widgets.
Thank you to Jennifer Coffman, MI candidate at Rutgers School of Communication and Information, for working on this guide.
