Introduction
There is a wealth of geoscience information on Nova Scotia, available as conventional hard copy maps and publications, as PDF and digital products, and as on-line searchable, bibliographic geoscience databases.
Publications Databases
The easiest way to find out what geoscience information exists on Nova Scotia is to search the two on-line databases which contain bibliographic geoscience information on Nova Scotia. These two databases are called
NovaScan and
Geoscan, and they can both be searched by Title, Author/Organization, Subject, Area, Map Sheet (NTS), Map Type, Document Type, Document Number, Year and Scale.
NovaScan is produced and maintained by the Mineral Resources Branch (MRB) of the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and only contains records of maps and publications on Nova Scotia produced by or collected by the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources, Mineral Resources Branch.
Geoscan is produced and maintained by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) and only contains records of maps and publications produced by the Geological Survey of Canada.
