Geofacets EDUCATION & RESEARCH

Transcription

1 EDUCATION & RESEARCH Geofacets In academic institutions, geoscience departments are tasked with producing high-quality research, instilling best practice research principles in students, and preparing the next generation of geoscientists. In today s technology-driven world, there s another way to inform research and better prepare students for career assignments. Geofacets helps researchers publish more informed research papers faster while helping students accelerate geoscience knowledge growth.

2 GEOFACETS A MODERN INFORMATION SOLUTION FOR TODAY S GEOSCIENTISTS AND RESEARCHERS Geofacets cuts research time by up to 50% and enables researchers to confidently discover reliable maps, figures, and tables from scientific publications to make stronger analyses. Using Geofacets helps increase publishing output and helps educate students across geoscience disciplines to ensure they re ready for corporate or research careers. Geofacets answers geoscience questions efficiently by combining Essential Knowledge Vast, vetted database of geoscience information and data sourced from scientific publications Easy Discovery Spatially-smart search targeting, delivering results up to 50% faster than tradititonal methods Seamless Integration Actionable content can be fed directly into ArcGIS, Petrel, Excel, and more for further analysis and interpretation. 2

3 I use Geofacets to elevate my original thoughts. Dr. Andreas Müller, ETH Zurich ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE Geofacets offers over 1.75 million maps, figures, and tables sourced from esteemed scientific publications. A read-only PDF of every source article is included for added context. Maps 700,000+ Including 540,000+ georeferenced maps and 1,800+ shapefiles. Sections/ Profiles 99,000+ Stratigraphic Columns/ Wells/Cores 82,000+ Tables 240, million maps, figures, and tables Other Figures 72,000+ Photos 140,000+ Plots/Graphs 400,000+ Geofacets adds 7,500+ maps, figures, and/or tables per month Subject Area Coverage Geology Location Geophysics Meterology/ Climatology 4% 46% 24% 7% 6% 6% <1% Pedology Oceanography Paleogeography 4% 3% Geography Hydrology/Hydrogeology *Figures and tables are sourced from 1995-present content **Subject area coverage graphic reflects the percentage of content tagged with that particular subject tag out of the total number of subject tags. 3

5 I estimate I saved 50% of my research time using Geofacets. I would not have been able to accomplish as much detailed work as I did without having access to Geofacets. Dr. Richard Ernst, Carleton University (Canada) EASY DISCOVERY Geofacets ensures a modern, efficient approach to information and data searching. Location-based search capabilities and advanced refinement options efficiently drill down broad searches into relevant, easy-to-access results. Search via Text Search via Location OR Refine results Results display via clusters and thumbnails Access detail window with content details, links to source articles, download options, and more 5

6 SEAMLESS INTEGRATION Geofacets makes geoscience information and data actionable. Geoscientists and researchers can integrate content into tools like ArcGIS and Google Earth to analyze regional or basin characteristics for research purposes. References can be exported to reference management software. PowerPoint Google Earth TIFF, JPEG KMZ ArcGIS Petrel GeoTIFF, Shapefile, TIFF, JPEG GeoTIFF, Shapefile, TIFF, JPEG Geofacets for ArcGIS Go from hypothesis to validation to analysis all in one place Excel XLSX Geofacets Connector for Petrel and Studio Save time and quickly access geoscience information and data without leaving Petrel TIFF and JPEG files may require further formatting before using in ArcGIS and Petrel 6
