Resources for Environmental Engineering

Databases

• Environmental Studies and Policy - Find academic articles, videos, case studies, and more on topics in environmental studies.
• ASCE Research Library - Portal to American Society of Civil Engineers publications. Includes journals and conference proceedings. E-Books not included.
• GreenFILE - Indexing and abstracts for publications in environmental sciences and human ecology, with some full text.
• ICE Virtual Library - The ICE Virtual Library contains every peer-reviewed paper produced by the Institution of Civil Engineers since its first meeting in 1836.
• ScienceDirect - Discover ebooks and peer-reviewed journals in the areas of physical sciences and engineering, life sciences, health sciences, and social sciences and humanities. It contains indexing, abstracts, and tables of contents for over 2,500 journals and over 35,000 ebooks.
• A to Z Maps Online Explore this database of proprietary, royalty-free world, continent, country, and state maps. Included in the 4,000+ maps are: political maps, physical maps, outline maps, population maps, precipitation maps, climate maps, and other thematic maps.

Websites

• U.S. Geological Survey - View information published by the U.S. Geological Survey. The U.S. Geological Survey is the nation's largest water, earth, and biological science and civilian mapping agency. It collects, monitors, analyzes, and provides scientific understanding of natural resource conditions, issues, and problems.

Reference

• AccessEngineering - Discover a regularly updated engineering reference tool for professionals, academics, and students. Features include instructional faculty made videos, calculators, interactive tables and charts. This resource also contains personalization tools that allow users to organize crucial project information as they work.
• Knovel - Contains online monographs and reference books in many areas of science and engineering. It can be used early in the research process to become aware of general safety information for particular activities, processes, and substances, as well as later in research to learn more specifics about substances. Included are interactive tools that normalize information across content sources and bring content to life by making tables, charts, equations, plotters and graphs interactive.
