the science of geology in Honduras. This page provides:
-
new and unpublished documents, reports and observations concerning the
geology of Honduras,
-
announcements of research and publication information for on-going activities
in the science,
-
a resource to those interested in the geology of Honduras to include
a bibliography of publications, sources of information, maps, active researchers,
and government and industry activities,
-
a dialogue into some of the outstanding and unresolved issues of geology
in Honduras.
