CIESIN [Information for a Changing World] Earth Science Associates [Offshore and Onshore US Data] EPA Software and Databases GEODAS Worldwide Geophysics Databases [GEODAS (GEOphysical DAta System) is an interactive database management system developed by the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) for use in the assimilation, storage and retrieval of geophysical data. The GEODAS software is presently being used with three types of data: Marine Trackline Geophysical Data -- Hydrographic (bathymetric) Survey Data -- Aeromagnetic Survey Data] GeoMine -- Geophysical Data Sets Geoscience Research arranged by State [U.S.G.S.] Latest Earthquakes [U.S.G.S.] Minerals Management Service [Gulf of Mexico OuterContinental Shelf (OCS) Region of the Minerals Management Service (MMS)] National Earthquake Information Center [United States Geological Survey] National Geophysical Data Center [extensive environmental data] Whats New in Geophysics at NGDC [You can register for email notification of new products.] Natural Resources Atlas of Canada Ocean Bottom Magnetology Laboratory [links to sources of magnetic data] Ocean Drilling Program [ODP, Texas A&M] Ocean Floor Databases [Columbia University] Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center [JPL, CA] Strong Motion Database [This is the home page of Strong Motion Data Base (SMDB) of the Center of Geophysical Data Studies and Telematics Applications (CGDS) of Joint Institute of Physics of the Earth (JIPE) Russian Academy of Sciences. ] Surfing the Net for Earthquake Data [University of Washington] UNI Data [extensive atmospheric databases and software] The World Data Center System [Data acquisition, storage and distribution are expensive, WDCs cost money, but they are cost-effective in transferring data to users, and their operational costs represent a tiny fraction of worldwide scientific activity. The ICSU Panel on World Data Centres hopes that this Guide will provide a useful overview of the system.] World Gravity Data [from satellite altimetry]
