The American Geosciences Institute is pleased to announce the release of its upgraded Glossary of Geology app for the Android and iOS platforms.  To celebrate, the apps have been discounted to $19.99 - a full $10.00 off the list price until March 31.

 

This indispensable reference tool contains definitions of nearly 40,000 terms used in the earth and environmental science literature. The AGI Glossary of Geology has long been considered the definitive reference by geoscientists and other students and professionals needing fully-supported and detailed definitions of earth science terms. Traditionally published as an 800+ page hardbound book, the app version provides all of the rich and detailed content with portability and the power of full-text searching of the entire glossary. In addition to definitions, many entries include background information on origin and usage. The Glossary draws its authority from the expertise of the more than 100 geoscientists in many specialties who reviewed definitions and added new terms. This is a must-have for all geoscientists, engineers working with earth-related issues, and students and other professionals that have questions about our planet.

 

Special enhancements for this version of the app include:
