The map shows the localities where samples that form part of the BGS rock collections have been taken. Many of these samples are from surface exposure, and were collected by BGS geologists during the course of geological mapping programmes. Others are from onshore boreholes or from mine and quarry workings. The principal collections are the E (England and Wales), S (Scotland), N (continuation of the S collection) and the MR (miscellaneous). The collections, which are held at the BGS offices at Keyworth (Nottingham) and Edinburgh, comprise both hand specimens and thin sections, although in individual samples either may not be immediately available. Users may also note that the BGS holds major collections of borehole cores and hand specimens as well as over a million palaeontological samples. The Britrocks database provides an index to these collections. With over 120,000 records, it now holds data for some 70% of the entire collections, including the UK samples shown in this application as well as rocks from overseas locations and reference minerals. The collections are continuously being added to and sample records from archived registers are also being copied into the electronic database. Map coverage is thin in some areas where copying from original paper registers has not been completed. Further information on Britrocks samples in these and other areas can be obtained from the Chief Curator at the BGS Keyworth (Nottingham) office or from the rock curator at the BGS Murchison House (Edinburgh) office.

This layer of the map based index (GeoIndex) shows areas covered by explanatory sheet Memoirs, along with basic information such as memoir title and publication date. The memoirs themselves,compiled by BGS geologists, date from the late 1890s to present day and provide a comprehensive and detailed account of all aspects of the geology of the areas covered by the 1:50,000 (and 1:63,360) map series. Some memoirs may cover more than one geological sheet area and a few cover key geological themes (eg Jurassic rocks) across a large region. Sheet Descriptions are fully colour-illustrated, shortened accounts of the geology that are available for some of the newer published geological sheets.

This service provides an Atom feed of datasets that are available for download.

The IFFI project (Italian Landslide Inventory) is carried out by the Geological Survey of Italy in ISPRA (National Institute for Environmental Protection and Research) in cooperation with the Italian Regions and Independent Provinces. In the database are stored more than 485,000 landslides that cover more or less the 7 % of the national territory. The dataset is composed by three different level of information, each landslide is identified by a source point (PIFF) that is linked with a details form. The dataset is differentiated in according with the geometry of landslide object in: points (the source point), lines (when there is a runoff way of landslide deposits) and polygons that are subdivided in: Deep Gravitational deformation, diffused shallow landslide and landslide deposits.

The Geological Map of Portugal, scale 1:1 000 000, represents the geology of Portugal onshore and - first time at this scale - offshore. This map is made up of the Geological Map of Mainland Portugal at 1:1 000 000 scale, Geological Map of the Azores Archipelago at 1:1 000 000 scale, Geological Map of the Madeira Archipelago at 1:1 000 000 scale, Geological Map of Portugal Offshore Region at 1:1 000 000 scale, Neotectonic Schema of Mainland Portugal at 1:4 000 000, Tectono-Stratigraphic Schema of Mainland Portugal at 1:5 000 000 scale and Inset Map at 1:20 000 000 scale.

WFS. The 1:500k lithostratigraphic map covering the whole of the Netherlands is available in this OGC WMS service for all uses - including commercial use subject to the conditions in the Access Constraints section. It is being served as a contribution to the OneGeology initiative (www.onegeology.org). Layers available for superficial geology are age and lithology. In this service these are attributed and coloured according to INSPIRE standards for age and lithology.

This is the subset of the Geology data at the scale 1:100.000 developed for eENVplus project. The dataset represents the merge of the two dataset of the Geological Map of Italy 1:100k database: Geology 1:100k layer and Lithology 1:100k layer. The dataset at the moment represents just the Friuli venezia Giulia part of Italy.

Geological Map of Portugal, scale 1:1 000 000, LNEG, 2010 modified to be INSPIRE compliant. Layers depicting Geological Units and Faults are available. This dataset was formerly prepared in the framework of the OneGeology-Europe project and harmonised according to INSPIRE vocabularies.

The Portuguese HydroGeological Resources Database provides geological and hydrogeological information for drill holes, wells, springs and boreholes
