This web site is your a central source for information related to the geology and geologic information providers of New York State. It contains links to Internet resources, publication titles, and addresses of businesses, government agencies, and colleges that can be a source for information on the geology and geologic profession in New York. The site is a work in progress, and will be frequently updated as new sources of information come on-line.
Where did all the links go ???My ever growing collection of weblinks to geologic information has gotten so large, that I have had to move it to its own page. Just hit the button below to get there.

To provide you with an economical, fast, and reliable source for many of the books referenced on these pages, I have affiliated with AMAZON.com, the worlds greatest discount bookstore.
Many of the titles on this page will link you directly to my New York Geology Bookstore, where you can shop online, and search for best-sellers or obscure titles. You'll even be able to find out-of print books. |

...like this, recently released publication The Gilboa Fossils from the New York State Museum.
Much of what is known about terrestial life during the Devonian Period has come from many extraordinary fossil discoveries made at Gilboa, NY. |
I hope my regular visitors will actively participate in the NY Geology Resource Page.
I have set up a
NEW YORK GEOLOGY BOARDROOM with an interactive message system.
I hope you will use this message board to begin some interesting and informative dialogs
related to geology and geologists in New York. Feel free to talk about jobs, schools,
mapping techniques, etc., or ask that question that's always been bugging you.
Please check this resource out before you leave, and bookmark it for frequent revisits.
If you own a geology or earth science website, feel free to link directly to the
New York Geology Boardroom Website.

Another excellent source of geologic reports, maps, and sections covering many regions of the state are the New York State Geological Association Guidebooks. These field trip guidebooks have been prepared each year, for more than thirty years, by the host college for the NYSGA annual meeting. The field guide for a given year will generally describe much of the bedrock and surficial geology of the host region. This link above will provide you with a price list and ordering instructions for these guidebooks. Don't overlook this excellent resource.
Two well known New York geologists; Charles Merguerian, and John Sanders have produced
an excellent set of field-guides, known collectively as the "On-The-Rocks" series.
Each book in this series includes a section on the region's geologic background
( glacial, tectonic, and geomorphic history), localities to be visited,
detailed driving instructions, descriptions of individual localties, and references for further study. Most of these guides cover areas of Long Island, New York City, and southeastern New York.
Additional information and ordering instructions are available online.

This association of researchers, educators, and consultants meet once a year, usually in mid-April. Their site is listed here, because it has a fair number of abstracts and papers dealing with the geology of Long Island & Metropolitan New York City. Definitely worth a look.
Air photos, and other spacial digital products are available from the

New products are frequently added, so check back with them occasionally.

As a service to my New York colleagues, I invite any geologist living in New York, who is currently looking for employment, to post a classified ad listing your experience & qualifications. You can include a direct Email link, as well as a direct link to any online resume you may have set up. I ask independent consultants or consulting firms not to use this service as a marketing tool.
Likewise, if you are an employer seeking a geologist, list your job here, and read the listings frequently.
These pages are constantly being updated, so check back with us occasionally to
see what gems we've discovered out there. Needless to say, we only find the
stuff. We cannot be reponsible for it's accuracy. Let the surfer beware!
