Description:
This CD-ROM is an earth-science database covering a wide range of
geologic phenomena in the contiguous United States and was
produced by the Joint Education Initiative (JEI), University of
Maryland and the American Geological Institute.
A wide range of data is included on the CD-ROM.
This includes topographic, gravity, magnetics, seismic, thermal
and crustal stress data;
Landsat and AVHRR satellite imagery;
digitized map data (political boundaries, geologic regions, fault lines,
coastlines, rivers, etc.);
and place names.
The data can be accessed through a menu-driver user interface
and many of the datasets can be combined together.
This CD-ROM was designed to work on a PC running DOS, MS-Windows,
or OS/2 preferrably on a machine with 8MB RAM, 486DX or higher
processor, and Math coprocessor.
About 2MB of free disk space on a hard disk is also required.
