Geology

Generally speaking, your geology classes will ask you to cite your sources using GSA format - the standard format for your discipline. (Note: Always check with your professor to determine which citation style they prefer for you to use). 

For help in properly citing your sources, you can visit: https://library.augustana.edu/friendly.php?s=citation. You can also access this page from the icon on the library's homepage. 

You can also find out more information on how to cite in GSA style here:
