6. Take a Closer Look at Geosciences Research:Mapping on Engineering Village, Powered by Google

7. Search GeoBase and/or GeoRef at www.engineeringvillage.com Mapping on Engineering Village

8. Mapping on Engineering Village • “Geographic Terms” field includes locations referenced most in the result set • Click “Show Map” button to see terms on map

9. Mapping on Engineering Village • Results move down on the page, below map • Map pins correspond to “Geographic terms” Hint: Including geographic term is the same as clicking on map pin – both refine results!

10. Mapping on EV with Google Maps • Zoom in and out • Navigate using arrows or by clicking and dragging over map • Roll over icons to display term and record count

11. Mapping on EV Visual Context for Insight and Discovery 3rd dimension of insight • Harness benefits of faceted results (show terms most associated with topic) • Visualize prominent terms’ geographic distribution Results in context • See areas of the world most associated with research topic • View where topics’ associated terms are concentrated in relation to each other Facilitate discovery • Gain insight and context into increasingly important environmental topics • Find features or locations not initially associated with a topic
