Falkland Islands Publications Database

In the 1990s a need was identified by the Falkland Islands Government to co-ordinate within the Falkland Islands as much as possible of ongoing scientific activity to ensure the most efficient and effective use of available scientific resources. An essential component of this was the documentation of all previously and currently published scientific information in a readily available form for both scientists and students to use. A comprehensive database has been prepared by the United Kingdom Falkland Islands Trust containing many previously inaccessible entries. The database is of value to the scientific, commercial and educational sectors in the Falkland Islands. Click on the following link to search the database. Search the Database
