Inventory of geological maps
Inventory of geological maps
This comprehensive inventory contains as much information as possible on the most relevant geological maps and datasets from all European Geological Survey Organisations (GSOs).
Methodology
The methodology used to compile the geological maps inventory for GSEU was based on a collaborative, survey-driven approach involving the national geological surveys. Each participant provided metadata and contextual information for the most relevant geological maps in their country, following a common template to ensure consistency and comparability. The inventory focused on identifying key map products, whether printed or digital, that are in use or considered authoritative at national or regional levels. The process also included harmonization efforts to classify map types, scales, and themes in a structured manner aligned with GSEU’s goals.

About the inventory
This inventory has been developed within Task 6.1 (Comprehensive metadata of European geological maps, map data sets and 3D-models). Task 6.1, led by the Czech Geological Survey (CGS), is part of WP6 (Geological framework for the European geological data & information system) in Geological Service for Europe (GSEU) project.
