Geofacets is a database and research tool for geoscientific maps. Maps are often buried within a publication. Geofacets makes it possible to search for these maps easily using geographic or scientific keywords. They can then be downloaded in GeoTIFF, KMZ, JPEG, TIFF and shapefile formats.
Although the tool is no longer available, your ETH Library team is still here for you. We are happy to assist you in relation to your query and can provide support in finding alternative tools.
