The International Geological Map of Europe on a scale of 1:5,000,000 shows the prequarter geology of Europe on the mainland and in the marine areas. In addition to geology, divided by age and rock type, magnetic anomalies, tectonic structures, the continental edge, metamorphoses and — in the marine areas — crust properties are also shown. The map was created under the direction of the BGR and the patronage of the World Map Commission (CGMW) with contributions from 48 European geological services and more than 20 scientific institutions. Detailed information on the "IGME 5000: More than just a map — A multinational GIS Project" can be found on the IGME website. According to the INSPIRE Directive, this database includes the German share.

The map is made available in GPKG format (the filename is "full_geo_lim_3035.gpkg" - QGIS and other Open Source GIS can deal with this format) Along with the map, we provide: 1) the original national geological maps of Germany, Italy, Slovenia, France, Switzerland and Austria, used for creating the map (folder "original_maps" in the "scripts" folder); 2) a script ("build_geo_lim.sh" in the "scripts" folder) that can be used to replicate the classification and the union of the original maps. The script was tested in a Ubuntu 16.04 environment where GRASS GIS 7.4 is installed. In order to run the script, the following command must be executed inside the "scripts" folder: grass74 -c datagrass/geo_lim/geo_lim/ --exec bash build_geo_lim.sh The "sql" folder contains the rules (exploited by the main "build_geo_lim.sh" script) for the classification of the geological formations into lithological units. Users can conveniently change those rules in order to change the final classification. For the elaboration of the GIS-based simplified geo-lithological map (Geo-LiM), we took advantage of the geological layers, in vector format, extracted from (i) the geological map of Italy at 1:500,000 scale (http://www.isprambiente.gov.it), (ii) the geological map of Switzerland at 1:500,000 scale (http://www.swisstopo.admin.ch), (iii) the geological map of Germany at 1:1,000,000 scale (Geologische Karte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland 1:1,000,000, BGR, Hannover.), (iv) the geological map of Austria at 1:500,000 scale (www.geologie.ac.at), (v) the geological map of France at 1:1,000,000 scale, and (vi) the geological map of Slovenia at 1:250,000 scale. These two last maps were obtained from the European Geological Data Infrastructure (EGDI - http://www.europe-geology.eu/metadata/). The six maps are released in ESRI shapefile, having different coordinate reference systems and different accuracy and information quality. The layers of France, Germany and Slovenia contained some topological errors (e.g. gaps between polygon borders, overlapping polygon borders, etc...) and were corrected removing duplicate boundaries and areas smaller than, respectively, 1 square meter, 600 square meters and 50 square meters (the longest boundary with adjacent area was removed). M. Donnini was supported by a grant of the Fondazione Assicurazioni Generali, and A. Zucchini was partially supported by the research projects of Paola Comodi, Francesco Frondini e Diego Perugini of the Department of Physics and Geology of the University of Perugia. We introduce a new geo-lithological map of Central Europe (Geo-LiM) elaborated adopting a lithological classification compliant to the methods more used in the litterature for estimating the consumption of atmospheric CO2 due by chemical weathering. Geo-LiM represents a novelty if compared with published global geo-lithological maps. The first novelty is due by the attention paid in discriminating metamorphic rocks that were classified according to the chemistry of protoliths. The second novelty is that the procedure used for the definition of the map is made available on the web to allow the replicability and reproducibility of the product.

Bedrock is the solid rock at or below the land surface. Over much of Ireland, the bedrock is covered by materials such as soil and gravel. The Bedrock map shows what the land surface of Ireland would be made up of if these materials were removed. As the bedrock is commonly covered, bedrock maps are an interpretation of the available data. Geologists map and record information on the composition and structure of rock outcrops (rock which can be seen on the land surface) and boreholes (a deep narrow round hole drilled in the ground). Areas are drawn on a map to show the distribution of rocks. Faults are vital information that is needed alongside bedrock geology maps to provide information on the structure of rocks.The faults show the details of the structural geology. Faults are the result of great pressure being applied to rock across a whole continent or more. These rocks will break under the pressure, forming faults. Faults are recorded as lines where the break in the rock meets the surface.In terms of time scale in geology, Quaternary is the present-day time and it began 2.6 million years ago. A lot of this time period relates to the Ice Age.Quaternary sediments are the soft material that has been deposited during this time. In Ireland much of this is related to the movement of glaciers and ice sheets. The main types of sediments shown on the map are tills (boulder clays), gravels, sands and peat. Over most parts of Ireland, these sediments cover the bedrock (solid rock at or below the land surface). Geologists map and record information from the shallow sediments which can be seen at or near the surface. This information along with boreholes (a deep narrow round hole drilled in the ground), geophysical data (information on the physical properties of the Earth's surface and subsurface e.g. magnetics, gravity and electromagnetics) and geochemical data (chemical properties) is used to create the map. Areas are drawn on a map to show where sediments are found. OneGeology-Europe is an EU project which aims to make geological data held by the geological surveys of Europe more easily discoverable and accessible via the internet. It also aims to standardise and harmonise the data in order to create an EU map. “Geology” within OneGeology-Europe is defined as "composition (lithology/geochronology) and structure of the surface geology”. Surface geology = geology that would be visible if the overlaying soil were removed, in other words: the Quaternary/superficial geology plus the exposed bedrock.Lithology refers to the rock type. Geochronology refers to the age of the rock.The Bedrock geology is defined as pre-Quaternary geology.To produce this dataset, the Geological Survey Ireland (GSI) bedrock geology 1:500,000 and 1:100,000 maps were generalised. Standardised EU field names and codelists were used and the GSI data was mapped to the specifications.This map is to the scale 1:1,000,000. This means it should be viewed at that scale. When printed at that scale 1cm on the map relates to a distance of 10km.It is a vector dataset. Vector data portray the world using points, lines, and polygons (areas).The bedrock data is shown as polygons. Each polygon holds information on the GeologicUnit name, description, type, age, Observation Method, position accuracy, Event Environment, Event Process, Lithology, Younger and Older ages. Some values refer to defined values in the Commission for the Management and Application of Geoscience Information (CGI) vocabularies.The surface data is shown as polygons. Each polygon holds information on the GeologicUnit name, description, type, age, Observation Method, position accuracy, Event Environment, Event Process, Lithology, Younger and Older ages. Some values refer to defined values in the Commission for the Management and Application of Geoscience Information (CGI) vocabularies.The structural data is shown as lines. Each line holds information on the GeologicUnit name, fault type, Observation Method, position accuracy, Contact purpose and sampling frame.

This digitally compiled map includes geology, geologic provinces, and oil and gas fields of Europe including Turkey. The maps are part of a worldwide series of maps on CD-ROM released by the U.S. Geological Survey's World Energy Project. The goal of the project is to assess the undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources of the world. For data management purposes the world was divided into eight energy regions corresponding approximately to the economic regions of of the world as defined by the U.S. Department of State. Europe (Region 4) includes Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and Vatican. The depicted portion of Region 2 includes Turkey. Each region is divided into geologic provinces. Each province has a set of geologic characteristics that distinguish it from surrounding provinces. These characteristics may include the predominant lithologies, the age of the strata, and the structural style. Some provinces include multiple genetically-related basins. Geologic province boundaries are delineated using data from a number of geologic maps and other tectonic and geographic data (see References). Offshore province boundaries are defined by the 2000 meter bathymetric contour. Each province is assigned a unique number. Because geologic trends are independent of political boundaries, some provinces overlap two regions. The code of those provinces that lie entirely within Europe begin with the number 4 and those provinces that lie entirely within Turkey begin with the number 2. The code of those provinces that lie partly within another region may start with a 1, for the Former Soviet Union (Persits and others 1998) or a 2, for Middle East and North Africa (Pollastro , 1998; Persits and others, 1997). The centerpoint locations of oil and gas fields are plotted based on the locations in the Petroconsultants International Data Corp. (1996) database with permission. Selected provinces are currently being investigated, by Total Petroleum System analysis, and assessments are being made of the undiscovered oil and gas resource potential of these provinces. Klett and others (1997) discuss the worldwide geologic provinces and their relative ranking in terms of total known petroleum volume. Specific details of the data sources and map compilation are given in the metadata files on this CD-ROM. Some stratigraphic units are combined to simplify the map and to ensure consistency across the region. All rocks are colored by age. Igneous and metamorphic rocks are identified with fill patterns and colors. These maps are compiled using Environmental Systems Research Institute Inc. (ESRI) ARC/INFO software. Political boundaries and cartographic representations on this map are taken, with permission from ESRI's ArcWorld 1:3M digital coverage; they have no political significance and are displayed as general reference only.
