Service Description: The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) consists of more than 100 organisations assembling marine data, products and metadata to make these fragmented data resources more available to public and private users relying on quality-assured, standardised and harmonised marine data which are interoperable and free of restrictions on use. EMODnet is currently in its fourth phase. BGR participates in the EMODnet Geology theme and is coordinating the “seafloor geology” work package from the beginning. In cooperation with the project partners BGR compiles and harmonises GIS data layers on the topics geomorphology, pre-Quaternary and Quaternary geology and provides those, based on INSPIRE principles, via the EMODnet Geology portal https://www. emodnet-geology.eu/map-viewer/. These map layers present the pre-Quaternary and Quaternary sea-floor geology and Geomorphology of the European Seas, semantically harmonized based on the INSPIRE data specifications including the terms for lithology, age, event environment, event process and geomorphology. The data are compiled from the project partners, the national geological survey organizations of the participating countries. The data set represents the most detailed available data compilation of the European Seas using a multiresolution approach. Data completeness depending on the availability of data and actual mapping campaigns. This open and freely accessible product was made available by the EMODnet Geology project (https://www.emodnet-geology.eu/), implemented by EMODnet Geology Phase IV partners, and funded by the European Commission Directorate General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. These data were compiled by BGR from the EMODnet IV Geology partners. All ownership rights of the original data remain with the data originators, who are acknowledged within the attribute values of each map feature.

  • Quaternary age (5)
• pre-Quaternary geology (6)
  • pre-Quaternary lithology (7)
  • pre-Quaternary age (8)
• general physiographic features (9)

Description: The sea-floor geology map layers of both Quaternary and pre-Quaternary age show the stratigraphy and lithology of the map features according to the INSPIRE-based vocabulary. The map features also bear information on genesis, separated by event environment and event process, where available. The geology is supplemented by pre-Quaternary faults.Further map layers are geomorphology (polygons and lines) and general physiographic features. Where provided the origin and reference of each feature is accessible. The available objects with the highest spatial resolution are used for the map display.

Title: EMODNet Geology, sea-floor geology
Author:
Comments: The sea-floor geology map layers of both Quaternary and pre-Quaternary age show the stratigraphy and lithology of the map features according to the INSPIRE-based vocabulary. The map features also bear information on genesis, separated by event environment and event process, where available. The geology is supplemented by pre-Quaternary faults.Further map layers are geomorphology (polygons and lines) and general physiographic features. Where provided the origin and reference of each feature is accessible. The available objects with the highest spatial resolution are used for the map display.
Subject: These layers show geological features of marine sea-floor geology. The geological features are widely supplied by EMODNet Geology project partners. The data resolution varies from 1:10,000 in some small areas to 1:3,000,000. The data were compiled by BGR from the EMODnet geology partner organisations in the EMODnet Geology project.
