This dictionary was compiled by hydrogeologists from Germany, Mexico and Nicaragua.
German and Spanish expressions were established by native speakers, all of them with a good
knowledge of English and some French. However no native English or French speaker has
reviewed the dictionary so far. Using the dictionary you will additionally recognize that some
translations are still missing in one or more languages while they are already available in
others. Further some special expressions you are looking for might be neglected at all.
The dictionary is published by now in order to make it available to as many scientists in the
field of applied geology as possible, however it is still under construction and probably will
ever be. We do think about adding definitions for at least part of the words and a more
convenient way to query. If you find any mistakes, missing words or if you have any
additional suggestions or want to participate in our multilingual dictionary project (e.g. with a
further language) please feel free to contact Prof. Dr. Broder Merkel (merkel@geo.tufreiberg.
