This text provides a reference for all subdisciplines of the earth sciences. Subjects can be accessed in varying levels of detail - the longer entries provide general overviews and the short entries provide specific details in more specialized areas. Thus, there is a general section on seismology, and 25 further entries which consider more specifically topics such as seismic creep, seismic head wave, seismic refraction and so on. The encyclopaedia covers geophysics, palaeontology and stratigraphy, mineralogy, geochemistry, vulcanology and magnetism, igneous and metamorphic rocks, sedimentology, geomorphology and environmental geology, structural geology, and economic geology. In addition smaller subjects such as the history of geology, mapping, archaeological geology and mathematical geology are covered in separate essays. In total there are 2752 cross-referenced entries. Each keyword is accompanied by synonyms if there is more than one common term for it, and all keywords appear in the index which contains 7979 entries.
