=====================================================================
There is an increasing amount of geosciences information available
on the Internet, and more is becoming available every day. Having
the ability to search out this information is probably more useful
than a list of Earth Sciences sites.
The World Wide Web, with Web browsers such as Mosaic and Netscape, have
become the default standard in cruising the internet. The WWW protocol
can access other internet protocols such as telnet, ftp and gopher,
and implement and access facilities such as mail and UseNet News.
What follows are starting points for internet exploration with a Web browser
for the Earth Sciences. Included is general Web information, Web Indexes for
the Earth Sciences, Searches (Robots, Crawlers, Worms etc), the USGS Web
site, and other special Earth Sciences connections and sites of related
interest.
Part 2 of this FAQ contains resources for software and software sites.
Just as the Web has become the default standard for navigating the
internet, the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) has become the standard
method of specifying a particular object on the internet. A URL has
the general form of:
protocol://host.domain:port-number/dir/subdir/file
where: protocol is the type of server to be accessed, such as http,
gopher, telnet, ftp, news; or service to be implemented such as
mailto.
host.domain is the host servers name and domain.
port-number is the port in which the server is configured to listen
for requests. If using the protocols default port this entry is not
necessary. HTTP servers listen, by default, on port 80, gopher
servers on port 70, telnet on port 23.
dir/subdir/file is the path and file which is to be accessed. If
omitted, the default root entry, if applicable, will be accessed.
Modifications of the above are necessary for mailto, news and telnet. Gopher
URLs can appear complicated as Hexadecimal equivalents need to be substituted
for some Ascii characters.
Your web browser needs to be configured to access a News and Mail server
for these two functions to work.
Examples include:
http://host.domain:80/dir/subdir/html-file
http://info.cern.ch/default.html
gopher://host.domain:70/
gopher://wombat.es.mq.edu.au
mailto:som...@their.address
mailto:pin...@laurel.ocs.mq.edu.au
news:usenet.news.group
news:sci.geo.geology
ftp://host.domain/dir/file
ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/mirrors/msdos/graphics/gifkit.zip
telnet://login...@host.domain:23
telnet://ma...@mars.ocs.mq.edu.au
or telnet://host.domain
telnet://laurel.ocs.mq.edu.au

3b. Web Indexes for Earth Sciences
Various sites maintain lists of hyperlinks to other servers. These
are registers, virtual libraries and meta-indexes. They are good
starting points to explore the web on a particular subject. Many html-ised
resource guides (see Section 8) can also be considered to be registers.
i) The latest on-line version of ORES (B. Thoen & T. Smith)
This site is, or will be, one of the most comprehensive on-line documents
available for geoscientists. It is very well structured. Each geoscientific
field has web pages in each of the following catagories: Mailing Lists, News
Groups, Documents and FAQs, Journals and Periodicals, Data and Software,
Hypermedia Resources.
http://www.gisnet.com/gis/ores/
or http://www.calweb.com/~tcsmith/ores/
The fields covered include:
- Geography and GIS
http://www.gisnet.com/gis/ores/gis/index.html
- Geology (many areas)
http://www.calweb.com/~tcsmith/ores/geology/index.html
- Oceanography
http://www.calweb.com/~tcsmith/ores/ocean/index.html
- Weather, meteorology and Climate
http://www.gisnet.com/gis/ores/weather/index.html
ii) CERN's Virtual Library
The CERN organisation is responsible for the Web. They request new servers
register with them, and these links form the Virtual Library, which is broken
up into catagories. Not all catagories are maintained by CERN. The main
index is at:

gopher servers were established, but they are now on the decline.
Many gopher sites have connections listed by subject. Included are:

5. Searches
5a. WWW Searches (Robots, Worms Crawlers, Spiders etc)
------------------------------------------------------
Web searches seek out web sites, search the contents of the pages for
specific data and store the result in a data base. Searches are made
of the data base. The information sought and stored varies from search
engine, so you may have to try several before finding one that meets
your requirements. IMHO Alta Vista and Lycos are hard to beat.
i) Alta Vista

Jughead are searches of the upper level menus of gopher servers. To
find out more about jughead, take a look at the Washington & Lee
