GPS Library

Part of the Caltech Library System, the Geological and Planetary Sciences Library collects materials in the fields of earth and planetary geology, geophysics, geochemistry, seismology, and paleontology. It is especially strong in materials dealing with California, the western United States, and North America. A depository for the publications of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the California Division of Mines and Geology (CDMG), the library also collects relevant publications from state geological surveys and from selected foreign surveys. Special collections include: geologic field trip guidebooks of western North America (with an emphasis on the area between the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains), USGS topographic maps of the western United States, USGS geologic maps of California (including those published as USGS Open-File Reports), CDMG Open-File Reports, and Caltech Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences theses.
