Society of Economic Geologists

Together, Elsevier and the Society of Economic Geologists (SEG) have integrated over 15,000 geological maps from the society’s esteemed journal, Economic Geology, into Geofacets. Thousands of maps are downloadable, georeferenced, and accompanied by metadata, article abstracts, and links to original source articles.

This collaboration, which adds valuable content for metals and mining exploration into Geofacets, further enhances research for geoscientists working in exploration. Economic Geology is dedicated to scientifically understanding earth materials including precious and base metals, nonmetallic minerals, construction-grade stone, petroleum minerals, coal, and water, and provides scientific insights that can be used for economic and/or industrial purposes.

Over 15,000 geological maps will be discoverable and downloadable from Geofacets, sourced from SEG's flagship journal:
