Welcome to Mission and the MIT Libraries

This year's mission to design a system to remove and sequester carbon dioxide will require a solid understanding of atmospheric, geologic, and engineering processes, as well as economics and public policy. The Libraries can help! We encourage you to contact librarians (12-lib@mit.edu) with any questions during the course.

Use Databases to Find Articles

There are many ways to find articles on the open Web, but the Libraries' databases cover journals and reports from many publishers and provide links to full text when we subscribe. Time savers!

Georef
covers the geological aspects of carbon sequestration, and all areas of earth sciences.
Compendex
covers all fields of engineering including geotechnical areas.
Web of Science (ISI Web of Knowledge)
good for articles from many disciplines. Limit to SCI for science; SSCI for policy and economics.
Environment Index
useful for finding policy articles
