Geobase is a multidisciplinary coverage of Earth Sciences, Ecology, Geology and Geography and other topics in an indexed research database and The GeoRef database, established by the American Geosciences Institute in 1966, provides access to the geoscience literature of the world. It is the most comprehensive database in the geosciences. You find them both from this link: https://www.engineeringvillage.com/search/quick.url
