Gravel and Hard Rock Aggregate Database at NGU contains information on most sand, gravel and hard rock aggregate deposits and extraction places in Norway where the raw material are used for building and construction activities. In addition, the WMS/database gives an overview of stone tips. The database also provides information on land use, volume, operating conditions, manufacturers, quality and how important resources are as raw material to building engineering purposes

NGU Superficial geology - OneGeology-Europe WP3. Mapscale 1:1 M. This service shows surface geology, structures and bedrock defined by rock types and ages. The areas of bedrock are also assigned to tectonic units. The map has been compiled using data acquired during several mapping campaigns carried out over decades, which was archived in digital format, published or prepared in manuscript form between 1989 and 2001. Due to variations in the quality of information gathered and the different scales used in different mapping campaigns, the level of accuracy in the underlying national database is variable. The database is designed for presentation at the 1:1M scale.

Prospecting.no is a map service created by the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU) and the Directorate of Mining. It provides: • Information on Norwegian mineral resources available to mining and exploration companies, prospectors and other users. • Easy access to a variety of information from various sources; mineral resources, geology and geophysics (Geological Survey of Norway), exploration and exploitation licenses (Directorate of Mining), protected areas (Norwegian Environment Agency) and topography (Norwegian Mapping Authority). • Map-views of ore deposits, linked to the mineral resource database at NGU. The database contains information, in variable detail on about 8.300 ore deposits/occurrences; including field descriptions, analytical data and references.

The Geological Survey of Norway (NGU) and Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority (NRPA) launched the Radon Susceptibilities Map series in 2006. These maps provide local authorities with important information on the spatial distribution of potential radon hazards, and can be used for determining the priorities for radon measurements in existing dwellings and for evaluating the risks from radon involved in development of new areas. The sources for the radon susceptibility web service are 4 printed maps of the Oslo region at a scale of 1:100 000 available on the NGU website (www.ngu.no).

NGU Radon awareness. The sources used to create the radon susceptibility web service are 4 printed maps of the Oslo region at a scale of 1:100 000 available on the WMS service.

NGU Geohazards - Rockfall susceptibility in Norway, online. The Rockfall susceptibility dataset shows the potential source areas/trigger areas and runout areas of potential rockfalls. Trigger area - area where the rockfall may occur. Runout area - area which is affected by a rockfall when a rockfall occurs.
