Take a Closer Look at Geosciences Research:Mapping on Engineering Village, Powered by Google


Mapping on Engineering Village

• Search GeoBase and/or GeoRef at www.engineeringvillage.com


• “Geographic Terms” field includes locations referenced most in the result set

• Click “Show Map” button to see terms on map



• Results move down on the page, below map

• Map pins correspond to “Geographic terms”


Hint: Including geographic term is the same as clicking on map pin – both refine results!


• Zoom in and out

• Navigate using arrows or by clicking and dragging over map

• Roll over icons to display term and record count

Mapping on EV with Google Maps


Mapping on EV Visual Context for Insight and Discovery
