With approximately 3,000 newly added entries and 4,000 revised entries, the total number of entries is approximately 22,000.
This latest earth science encyclopedia reflects the latest research findings from the past 30 years, covering topics such as environmental issues and the prediction of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Leading researchers explain terms related to environmental issues that affect our daily lives, natural disasters (typhoons, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc.), underground resources (oil fields, metals, etc.), and applied geology (surveys, research, and applications of foundation ground, groundwater, disasters, etc.).

■ About the Dictionary Contents ■
- Focusing on the field of geology, the dictionary includes the latest terms in the broader field of earth science and related space sciences, as well as terms used in important past papers and textbooks, where possible.
- Entries are arranged alphabetically, with a subtopic structure as the general rule. Geminated consonants and palatalized consonants are also counted in phonetic order, with the order being unvoiced → voiced → semi-voiced, with the "sound-hiding" (ー) being unrelated to phonetic order.

- As a general rule, each entry is written in the order of heading, explanatory text, and author's name, but since a Japanese index is not being created, "direct entries" without explanatory text or author's name are also actively used. Where necessary, entries that are considered useful for reference (reference items) and references are added after the explanatory text.

- For Japanese, common kanji, hiragana writing, and modern kana spelling are the basis, but non-common kanji, katakana, and old kana spelling are also used as necessary.

- For Chinese and Korean, local pronunciations are written in katakana, and for other languages, kanji are used (simplified Chinese characters are written side by side for Chinese as needed).

For other foreign languages, English is generally used (katakana spelling is also accepted), but scientific names (Latin) are used for plant and animal names and paleontological names, and foreign languages ​​other than English are also used when necessary for personal names and etymological explanations.
