Results that have GeoRef bounding coordinates display on a map view of search results. From there the results can be faceted with all GSW facets and can be further limited by zooming in on the map and clicking the limit results to map boundary.
The cluster circles on the map represent dense areas of the map that have multiple publications. Those publications are represented by a numeric value inside the cluster. Selecting a cluster circle will zoom in on that area of the map. At each level of the map, pins represent content covering an area that is relevant to that scale. So, as one zooms in, the articles represented by pins will be more narrow in geographic scope.
OpenGeoSci
Now fully integrated with the GSW platform, OpenGeoSci is a free, public map based toolset that allows users to search for cross sections, charts, tables, figures, and data from GeoScienceWorld publications. The goal of OpenGeoSci is to further aid researchers in discovery of relevant valuable assets for academic research.

How to Use the Map Tools
After performing a search, results can be viewed on a map.

Browse the Figures
Users can discover figure assets associated with GSW journals and books via the same search tools. Each result with figures displays the first 3 so they can be easily scanned. Clicking view all displays the figures for all the results. Note these figures are a medium thumbnail size and can be accessed in full size by clicking through to the article for those with access.
