Titanium isocontent map (Geochemical Atlas of Spain, 2012)
Iso-content maps of Titanium (Ti), one of the chemical elements.obtained in the Geochemical Atlas of Spain Project, distributed in stream sediments (14,864 samples), superficial soils (0-20 cm.) (13,505 samples) and deeper soils (20-40 cm.) (7,682 samples). The results of the chemical analysis are shown in two types: total dissolution of the sample with 4 acids and partial dissolution with aqua regia. With the analytical results of all the sampled points, an isocontent map is made with adjustment to a square grid of 1,000 m by the method of interpolation of the inverse of the squared distance. The final result is a map for each type of sample and type of analysis carried out.
Google Earth service (KML)
- KML is a file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google Maps for mobile. KML uses a tag-based structure with nested elements and attributes and is based on the XML standard.
The main objective of this project, co-financed with funds from the European Economic Area (EEA), has been to develop a geochemical knowledge base of the surface materials (stream sediments and soils) of the national territory, both continental and insular, which will allow us to tackle with the necessary information the problems that, for both ecosystems and public health, derive from soil contamination and those related to the geology and mineral resources of Spain.
Isocontent maps of the chemical elements obtained in the Geochemical Atlas of Spain Project, distributed in stream sediments (14,864 samples), shallow soils (0-20 cm) (13,505 samples) and deeper soils (20-40 cm) (7,682 samples). The results of the chemical analysis are shown in two types: total dissolution of the sample with 4 acids and partial dissolution with aqua regia.
