The GeoWiki is a collaborative approach toward geology education where an Open Access textbook environment is constantly being written and re-written by students and faculty members resulting in textbook chapters on Geophysics, Geochemistry, and Tectonics that can supplant or replace conventional paper-based books.

Evolution of Physical Oceanography -MIT Evolution of Physical Oceanography was created to mark the career of Henry M. Stommel, the leading physical oceanographer of the 20th Century and a longtime MIT faculty member. The authors of the different chapters were asked to describe the evolution of their subject over the history of physical oceanography, and to provide a survey of the state-of-the-art of their subject as of 1980. Many of the chapters in this textbook are still up-to-date descriptions of active scientific fields, and all of them are important historical records. -MIT Instructors: Bruce A.
