The GEOCR500 dataset was processed completely digitally in ArcGIS 9.1 and integrated within a regional geographic information system.
The detailed, largely field-based, geological map of the Vértes Hills includes data on the tectonic evolution, geomorphology and and hydrogeology.
The Geological Map of the iberian peninsula, Balearic and Canary Islands or Geological Map of Spain at a scale of 1:1,000,000 is a map developed by the Geological Survey of Spain (IGME-CSIC) on a cyclical basis since its foundation, being the 1995 version the first to be digitised. This map is an infrastructure of homogeneous and global geological knowledge of a geological unit of continental scale such as the Iberian Peninsula. The map contains the chronolithostratigraphic units with representation of th...
The map shows the geological deposits at the surface, or until a depth of 5m of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It includes the Netherlands, the Dutch part of the North Sea and the Dutch Carribean (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, Sint Eustatius and Saba)
Data identifying landscape areas (shown as polygons) attributed with geomorphological descriptions. The scale of the data is 1:10 000 scale. Coverage is provided for the main Maltese Islands. The artificial geology theme describes the main areas of man-made (anthropogenic) materials and workings. The data are available in vector format (containing the geometry of each feature linked to a database record describing their attributes) as ESRI shapefiles.
Data identifying landscape areas (shown as polygons) attributed with geological names and rock type descriptions. The scale of the data is 1:10 000 scale. Coverage is provided for the main Maltese Islands. Bedrock geology describes the main mass of solid rocks forming the earth's crust. Bedrock is present everywhere, whether exposed at surface in outcrops or concealed beneath superficial deposits or water bodies. The data includes attribution to identify each rock type (in varying levels of detail). The be...
Data identifying observation locations (shown as points) describing the bedding orientation of bedrock units. The scale of the data is 1:10 000 scale. Coverage is provided for the main Maltese Islands. Bedrock measurements describe the orientation of bedding in terms of dip and dip-azimuth. The data are available in vector format (containing the geometry of each feature linked to a database record describing their attributes) as ESRI shapefiles.
Faults are depicted as linear features (shown as polylines) representing a structural contact between geological units; Faults are typically associated with the bedrock theme and identify a plane of movement or failure where a body of bedrock has been fractured and displaced relative to another, by a large-scale process affecting the earth's crust. The data are available in vector format (containing the geometry of each feature linked to a database record describing their attributes) as ESRI shapefiles.
The Folds theme provides information on the structural bedrock geology of the Maltese islands. It was produced from the geological resurvey of the Maltese Islands undertaken in 2021 and 2022. This map depict localised structural folding of bedrock. The map features represent the fold axis of the feature.
Data identifying boundaries (shown as polylines) describing the contact between geological units at the margins of karstic dolines and sinkholes. The scale of the data is 1:10 000 scale. Coverage is provided for the main Maltese Islands. The data includes attribution to identify the local names, and postulated age of formation of the features (in varying levels of detail). Several modes of failure are represented by the doline/sinkholes, The boundaries therefore represent planes of structural failure or fl...
