Geoscientific Dictionary (German-English)
We have assembled a small dictionary of geological and geoscientific terms. You can sort the entries by language and alphabetically. Simply click on the language you want in the blue fields below, and then click on the letter with which the term you are seeking begins.
Letters shown in the table below in light grey contain no entries for the chosen language at this time.
If you have any suggestions on how to improve the dictionary or individual definitions and translations, please get in touch with us. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have helped us in setting up this dictionary.
