Periodic Tables
EnvironmentalChemistry.com: Periodic Table of Elements
This electronic
periodic table provides comprehensive data on elements including scores
of properties, element names in many languages and
most known
nuclides. Click on an element's symbol or atomic number to view detailed
information.
Chemicool's
Periodic Table of Elements OR
WebElements • Alternative
electronic periodic tables...
LBL
Nuclear Sciences's Periodic Table of Isotopes • This
chart of nuclides emphasizes isotope information: list of isotopes
for each element, half life rates, isomers, etc.
Chemglobe's
Periodic Table • This
electronic periodic table provides several print-friendly
features.
Phoenix
College/ChemLab Periodic Table collaboration • This
electronic periodic table provides alternative views, graphing
of properties, etc.
Jefferson
Lab's Periodic Table for Educators and Students • This
electronic periodic table has appeal through use of on-line games,
"element crossword puzzles" and other activities. Jefferson Lab
provides outreach educational resources; it's operated by Southeastern
Universities Research Association for the U.S. Department of Energy.
Look
Up…
The
Constants and Equations Pages • Sponsored by
The Institute of Physics, this website lets you quickly look up all
sorts of information for math, physics, chemistry and astronomy. With
over 10,000 pages, it's pretty comprehensive. There's even a download
option for off-line personal use.
Favorite
Isotope Geochemists' Journals • Our own Karrie
Weaver has created this convenient list of favorite
journals with several on-line journal links and their call numbers—to
find that journal faster. print this list
before traipsing off to the library. Some of the on-line journal
links will work only if you're on the UC Berkeley network or access
the network via the UC
Berkeley library proxy server.
Petrology
Petrological
Database of the Ocean Floor • This NSF-founded
website put together by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory provides
petrological and geochemical data for igneous and metamorphic
rocks from mid-ocean ridges, back-arc basins and young seamounts.
GEOROC • A
global geochemical database containing published chemical and isotopic
data as well as extensive "metadata" for
rocks, minerals and melt/fluid inclusions. It currently covers
igneous rocks fromisland arcs, oceanic islands and large igneous
provinces
(seamounts, oceanic plateaus, submarine ridges, and oceanic and continental
flood basalts). Under the auspices of the Max-Planck-Institut für
Chemie.
Maps
and Photos
Topozone • Commercial
vendor who provides digital topo maps.
USGS
National Geologic Map Database • Resource
for buying paper or digital geologic maps.
USGS
Aerial Photographs for Sale • Resource for
buying USGS aerial photos, topo maps, etc.
USGS
Photo Archive • Large library of photos, all in
the public domain, though of course none may be copyrighted by users
outside the agency. (It's polite to credit individual photographers
and the U.S. Geological Survey when using these.) You can search
for just the right photo too. Multiple resolutions (web
to print) available.
Earth
Sciences and Maps Library (50 McCone Hall, UCB) • In
Berkeley, you can find digital topographic maps and aerial photographs
at UC Berkeley's friendly Earth Sciences and Maps Library—some
available on-line. Aside from the extensive paper map collection,
they also have several CD map collections. Only a few of these
circulate; however, even if you cannot check out a CD, you can
view the map files in one of the Earth Science Library's computers,
and email any specific file you need to yourself (or alternatively,
carry a 100MB zip cartridge with you for copying). Ask for help
at the front desk to view CDs.
In addition, they have an on-going project to convert their
paper maps to digital form. This collection is always growing, so ask at the
Front Desk for updated listing of these digital maps.
