getting Started

Even after you assemble your applications, your first experiences with the Internet may be frustrating, especially if you are trying to get an idea as to the type of geoscience resources available on the Internet. Several individuals maintain extensive lists of lists (meta lists) which provide good starting points. Several of the ones that I use are listed below. All of these are periodically reviewed and updated -- an essential feature in my opinion.

Remember that you can return to this menu by using the back arrow or the Go menu.
