EMODNET - Geology

14 partners Geological surveys of Finland, Latvia, Lithuania,

Estonia, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Ireland and UK.

All partners are members of EuroGeoSurveys Marine Geology Expert Group (will demonstrate EMODNET to other partners at next annual meeting)

Co-ordinated by NERC/BGS


Main deliverables Sea-bed sediments including rate of accumulation or sedimentation

Boundaries and faults

Rate of coastal erosion or sedimentation

Geological events and event probabilities (landslides, volcanic, earthquake epicentres)

Seismic profiles

Minerals (including aggregates, oil and gas)

Available via an internet portal (OneGeology -Europe)


Greater North Sea; Celtic Sea; Baltic Sea

WP4 Sea-floor geology


WP5 Coastal erosion or sedimentation


TNO (Dutch survey) developing 3D models that allow sedimentvolumes to be calculated Example: Rotterdam harbour

WP7 Minerals

Progress has been slow on resource layers due to ICES and Ospar coordinators not being willing to share compilations of mineral data

Direct contact with data sources is ongoing with a view to complete compilation by the end of 2010.

Metadata for each layer


EMODNET Geology and One-GeologyEurope

Share methodologies and communications objectives

Develop international exchange standard for geology (GeoSciML)

Contributes to INSPIRE Implementing Rules

OGE is registered as the European contribution to the geological layer for GEOSS and contributes to GMES.

Web portal providing multi-lingual access to data

Best practice guides

Data standards will be non-proprietory and include GeoSciML and other open web service technologies including OGC, WMS, WFS, OGC WCS etc.


Interoperable marine geological data layers

Scientific and informatics specifications for the harmonisations of low-resolution data

Local examples that demonstrate higher resolution harmonisation (NOC North Atlantic)

Multilingual discovery metadata

Robust data model in line with OGE

Links to metadata/data resources (GeoSeas)

Vocabularies in line with those used by Geo-Seas

Web portal

Documented best practice for delivery of geological data ur-EMODNET meeting, Brussels, Belgium 29 November 2010
