Finding a topic

Deciding on a topic for your research can be the hardest part of getting started! Use these databases to browse topics in the sciences.

AccessScience - Topics contains a menu of 20 major areas with dozens of subtopics for each.

GALE Environmental Studies - Browse Issues

Also, ask your instructor or brainstorm with other students in your class to generate ideas. And, of course, ask for help from a Librarian.
