GeologicPublications.net — independent publisher of geological maps, monographs, stratigraphic bulletins and field guides. 2,400+ titles, 480 maps, 120 expeditions. From Precambrian shields to Quaternary terraces, we document Earth in print and pixels.
Born in a university basement with a mimeograph and a box of thin sections, today we are the largest independent geologic publisher on the open web.
We publish peer-reviewed bulletins, reprint out-of-print surveys, digitize hand-drawn maps at 1200 dpi, and fund field schools. Every volume is reviewed by two active field geologists and one cartographer. No paywalls for maps older than 5 years. No jargon without explanation.
412 pages, 180 columns, 64 fold-outs. Jurassic–Cretaceous unconformities, chemostratigraphy and sequence models with QR-linked 3D outcrops.
Lithium, REE, copper porphyries. Deposit models, thin-section atlas, 1:100k prospectivity maps and ESG field protocols. 356 pages.
Trilobites to mammoths. GPS tracks, safety notes, what-you-can-collect ethics, kids pages. Waterproof paper, fits in cargo pocket.
Lidar hillshades, bedrock + surficial, cross-sections every 2 km, borehole database. GeoTIFF + print on Tyvek.
