The Cal State L.A. Geology Student Reference Desk

General Disclaimer

This Web project was developed as part of "Internet Resources" courses offered by the Biology and Geology departments of the California State University, Los Angeles in 1995 and 1996. It was submitted to the instructors for evaluation and then placed on-line by the Electronic Desktop Project (EDP). EDP does not update or maintain any of the material of this project, and does not vouch for validity or correctness.

Introduction

This World-Wide-Web HomePage was developed by Russell Yoshida for Dr. G. Novak and Dr. R. Desharnais as a term project in Geology 491 - Resources on the Internet. This page provides Cal State Los Angeles Geology Students with access to several reference sources through the internet. Hypertext links quickly and easily connect students to geologic and other resources on and off campus through the internet. By simply pointing to and clicking the highlighted text, the student is connected to servers that retrieve specific information on virtually any topic.

Current Geosciene Issues

The Republican Party's Contract with America has singled out the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the United States Bureau of Mines (USBM) as programs to be abolished. Leading the way is the chairman of the House Budget Committee, John Kasich (R-Ohio). The Clinton Administration supports the USGS and the USBM, and the services which they provide. For more information about the USGS and the wide range of services which they provide, check out the USGS HomePage (above). Take a few moments to express your support for these two programs by e-mailing the United States House of Representatives. Click the button to compose your e-mail.
