The library endeavors to collect or provide information to geosciences researchers at ND. Some areas of particular interest include: environmental geochemistry and mineralogy, hydrology, treatment and remediation. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of research in the geosciences, books, journals, and reference materials can be found in three campus libraries: the Chemistry/Physics Library at 231 Nieuwland, the Life Sciences Library at 149 Galvin, and the Engineering Library at 149 Fitzpatrick Hall. The resources listed on this page can serve a variety of information needs, but feel free to contact the librarians at the individual libraries when more help is needed.
