Bruce Railsback's Geoscience Resources

This page is the index to the website hosting various geoscience and other resources generated by Bruce Railsback, Professor of Geology at the University of Georgia. Much of this material was previously available at www.gly.uga.edu/railsback, a website since eliminated by the University of Georgia's Franklin College in the interest of central control.

The University of Georgia Department of Geology has a standard faculty page for Bruce Railsback.   This page provides links to resources beyond those on the standard faculty page.
