This is a list of acronyms and abbreviations used in the Geo-Guide. the terms are searchable through Geo-Guide search options: in the categories any (for fulltext), keywords, description, title, or publisher.
The list contains abbreviations of subject-specific societies, surveys, publishers, etc., as well as some interdisciplinary terms like LOC, and acronyms used in the earth sciences like GPS or TEM.
It is continuously expanded.
