Participating university teams can now access Geofacets – A modern information solution that empowers geoscientists – for a limited period (120 days). Accessed using standard web browsers or an easy to use plug-in for ArcGIS, Geofacets will get Teams access to over 1.9 Million actionable content such as georeferenced maps, figures and tables from over 190k+ documents, about a variety of geoscience topics such as structural geology and tectonics, sedimentology, petroleum geology and more.
