Question: How can I find electronic versions of theses from the School of Earth Sciences?

June 20th, 2007

We’ve been asked this question a few times recently, and while there is no guarantee that a thesis or dissertation from the School of Earth Sciences has an accessible, digital version, here are several places to check:

  • Stanford dissertations from Proquest/UMI: link
  • Energy Resources Engineering Department reports: link
  • Some theses are also published as technical reports. Many of the reports of the Stanford Exploration Project fall under this umbrella. For SEP reports, go here: link
  • The Stanford Rock Physics and Borehole Geophysics Project has a list of theses from their group here: link

    • Other options:

      Try the website of the students former research group. For example, the Environmental Geophysics group has links to some of their former students’ works here: link
      Of course, there’s always google.
      And, email. (Most students would be quite pleased to hear from someone with an interest in their work.)

    All of these thesis links live together under this del.icio.us tag:

    Any other ideas?
