In this edition, 675 new entries have been added, and include expanded coverage of planetary geology and earth-observing-satellites. Other new entries terms such as Ianammox, Boomerangian, earth rheological layering, and metamorphic rock classification.
The entries are also complemented by more than 130 diagrams and numerous web links that are listed on a regularly updated dedicated companion website.
