Geological Map of Switzerland 1:500,000
The Geological Map of Switzerland at 1:500,000 scale covers all of Switzerland and adjoining parts of neighbouring countries. It provides an overview of the distribution of the superficial geological formations exposed in Switzerland. It is thus an important tool for improving the understanding of our environment in the context of sustainable development. It is also an essential aid for education in the fields of environmental and earth sciences, as well as for the identification and prediction of natural hazards. The previous edition appeared more than 25 years ago and the new map shows a significantly improved level of detail. The addition of new data and the revision of older geological records made during recent decades have led to significant improvements in the new version. Thanks to a revised layout, the detailed legend is now easier to read and therefore easier to understand.
