----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Unfortunatly the first attempt did not work...this is the second :) Four months ago I posted a message requesting information regarding any servers (WWW, Gopher, FTP, Telnet etc.) that was of interest to geographer and/or cartographer. I received information from many users and I want to take this opportunity to thank them again. I also promised that I would send back the fruit of my search to the list.. and here it is. I did not have the chance to check all those servers ...and some may already be out of services or changed adress... but I think that you have here a pretty good list to start surfing the net...and discover yourself many other interesting sites. I hope that this will help you all !!! NB.

It is accessible from an EARN (or BITNET (?)) node, you have to install the ASTRA client software. The services are free, the questions and the answers are interactive messages or can be sent via the EARN mail function. There are about 35 databases, some of them in the field of earth sciences. Astra User Interface Help Function Available databases META : The ASTRA service meta-database contains general informations about the databases covered by the service. Each document Describe a database, its structure, the people responsible for the data and for the local service. Sometimes some notes are appended as major support to the users (in Eglish). BIBV : Bibliography on historic activity of Italian volcanoes, by Istituto di Geocronologia e Geochimica Isotopica - CNR, Pisa, Italy & by Gruppo Nazionale per la Vulcanologia - CNR, Pisa, Italy (in Italian). BIG : The BIG data base includes bibliographic references on geotechnical papers of Italian Authors published on periodical issues, congress proceedings, technical reports, thesis.

Databases organized are about many different subjects. They can be classified as chemistry, geology, informatics, pedagogic, historical etc etc, At the present time, the main goal of ASTRA is to insert many new databases, to offer more information to the ASTRA user community. To access ASTRA SERVICE the user has to be connected to one of the research networks. The requests to search the available databases may be written through the ASTRA User Interface, available for VM and VAX user and, in the future, for the X.400 VM user, or using the ASTRA batch query language. Some help and some service are offered to the ASTRA user by the ASTRA Working Group (ASTRA-WG) and in particular a list has been defined for the user problems and suggestions. The ASTRA service includes also the distribution of a bimensil bullettin about the ASTRA news. This bullettin is sent to every ASTRA user. Users can access the service by sending the following commands to ASTRADB at ICNUCEVM: To get information about the service: VM/CMS Users: TELL ASTRADB AT ICNUCEVM GET ASTRA INFO VAX/VMS Users: SEND ASTRADB@ICNUCEVM GET ASTRA INFO To get help about using the server: VM/CMS Users: TELL ASTRADB AT ICNUCEVM HELP VAX/VMS Users: SEND ASTRADB@ICNUCEVM HELP To get the user interface: VM/CMS Users: TELL ASTRADB AT ICNUCEVM GET ASTRA EXEC VAX/VMS Users: SEND ASTRADB@ICNUCEVM ASTRAVAX To share ideas and experiences, a news group is established on [log in to unmask] To subscribe to the group send the message SUB ASTRA-UG your full name to [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] Climatology Information and News A news and information service (not so much for discussions) for climatology.

The latter are published by a group of geologists at the Smithsonian; we receive the reports a few weeks before they come out in print. I also maintain a list of volcanologists called VLIST FILE. VLIST contains names, e-mail addresses, research interests, job titles, and fax numbers for a hundred or so volcanologists and assorted fans.
