They are all critically reviewed by two specialists, may include maps, figures, and pocket items, and can be of any length. Older Bulletins (released prior to 2002) are available in paper, and, as of 2002, newly released Bulletins will be electronic documents available either on paper or on CD-ROM. Since 1993, the Bulletin series incorporates all the categories of GSC publications that were formerly released as Memoirs, Economic Geology Reports, and Papers. View the latest
