| | Looking for aggregate properties? Chemical composition of rocks or minerals? Grain densities? Stress-strain relations? Rate of sediment in ocean basins? Thermal conductivity of rocks and minerals? Infrared, raman, and optical spectroscopy of materials? Physical properties of the sun? The library has a number of sources that can help you find that information below is a partial list to get you started. If you can't find what you are looking for contact your departmental librarian. | | | Handbook of Physical Constants
SciRef QE433.8.H36 | Published by the American Geophysical Union, this multi-volume set contains tables on basic astronomical constants; earth geodetics and geophysical data; physical data on moons, planets, and sun; tides; magnetic fields; plate motion and boundries; mineral physics and crystallography; rock physics and phase relations; and much more. | | | Handbook of Physical Properties of Rocks
SciRef QE431.6.P5 H361 | This multi-volume set includes mineral composition, electrical properties, spectroscopic properties, seismic velocities, magnetic properties, engineering properties, density, elastic constants, inelastic properties, strength and rheology, radioactive properties of rocks and/or minerals. | | | | Landolt Bronstein QD65.L25 | This is one of the most extensive sources of physical properties and related data available. It is a systematic, comprehensive, high-quality collection of critically assessed data from all fields of physics, physical chemistry, geophysics, astronomy, materials technology, engineering, and biophysics. | | |  | 
| Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) | |
|
| ICSD contains records of all inorganic crystal structures, with atomic coordinates, published since 1915. All data are recorded by experts and are checked several times. You can also view the structures. |
