The data were compiled by BGR from the EMODnet geology partner organisations in the EMODnet Geology project phase III between 2017 and 2019.The scale varies between 10 000 and 5 000 000....
This web map service shows faults and structures of geological units of the seafloor originated earlier than 2,588 Ma from now (pre-Quaternary). The data were compiled by BGR from the EMODnet geology partner organisations in the EMODnet Geology project phases I, II and III between 2009 and 2019 and the International Geological Map of Europe and Adjacent Areas (Asch, 2005). The scale varies between...
Pre-Quaternary -ageThis web map service shows the chronostratigraphic age of geological units of the seafloor originated earlier than 2,588 Ma from now (pre-Quaternary). International Geological Map of Europe and Adjacent Areas (Asch, 2005). The scale varies between 25,000 and 5 000 000.The data were compiled by BGR from the EMODnet geology partner organisations in the EMODnet Geology project phas...
These data layers on Seafloor Geology show the underlying geology from Earths ancient past (more than 2500 Million years ago) to modern Quaternary deposits and geomorphological features. From it we can read the story about Earths Evolution in the European, marine part of our planet Earth, i.e. from the oldest rocks and how they form, to the youngest rocks and geomorphological features representing...

Submerged archaeological sites subdivided as: 1. Cave site; 2. Open air site; 3. Settlement; 4. Other. Chronological information is presented as calendar age BP. Confidence is defined as follows: 1. High: Sampled feature with good age and palaeoenvironmental control. 2. Sampled feature with poor or none age and palaeoenvironmental control. 3. Constructed by remote sensing data only. 4. Low: Reason...

Delta Relict delta landform formed by deposition of sediment transported via river as it enters slower-moving / stagnant body of water such as a marine environment, lake or estuary.Chronological information is presented as calendar age BP.Confidence is defined as follows:1. High: Sampled feature with good age and palaeoenvironmental control. 2. Sampled feature with poor or none age and palaeoenvir...
Relict estuary landform defined as a partially enclosed coastal body of brackish water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it and a free connect to the open sea/ocean. Where know the type of estuary (e.g. fjord, estuary, ria) is included.Chronological information is presented as calendar age BP.Confidence is defined as follows:1. High: Sampled feature with good age and palaeoenvironmen...
Coastal landscape underlain by limestone which has been eroded by dissolution, producing ridges, towers, fissures, sinkholes and other characteristic landforms. Where known the type of karst e.g. limestone, dolomite, evaporitic rocks, sinkholes, boulder piles etc. is stated.Chronological information is presented as calendar age BP.Confidence is defined as follows:1. High: Sampled feature with good...
Coastal landscape underlain by limestone which has been eroded by dissolution. Where known this has been subdivided thus: 1. Caves; 2. Sinkholes; 3. Solution pans; 4. Cockpits; 5. Karst cones; 6. Towers; 7. Boulder piles; 8. Tor; 9. Other.Note that we are using the term "sinkhole" to include dolines, cenotes and swallow holes.Chronological information is presented as calendar age BP.Confidence is ...
Relict lagoon coastal landform defined as a shallow body of water separated from a larger body of water by barrier islands or reefs. Chronological information is presented as calendar age BP.Confidence is defined as follows:1. High: Sampled feature with good age and palaeoenvironmental control. 2. Sampled feature with poor or none age and palaeoenvironmental control. 3. Constructed by remote sensi...
