First of all ….

• Many greetings from Pawel Gdaniec with whom many of you had good contact

OverviewSource: No MARE/2012/10: LOT No. 2-Geology , Technical Tender Form, WP4

Quaternary and sub-Quaternary at a 1 : 250 000 scale- age- lithology- faults- (genesis)according to One-Geology-Europe and INSPIREdata specifications

SEITE 421.04.23 4

WP 4 - Necessary input:

Interpreted information on the sea-floor geology (bedrock + Quaternary geology) including the lithology and stratigraphy of the geology of the regional seas included in the proposal.

Objective

To compile and harmonise all available sea-bed geology (outcrop/Quaternary?) and sub-Quaternary) information at a scale of 1:250,000.

WP4 – Achievements to date

1. Inventory of available data2. Development of a procedure to collect

and compile data according to INSPIRE standards (data model and geology classi-fications)

3. Create and distribute Guidelines for the data „delivery“

4. Collect data sets (pre-Quaternary) and include into the GIS) and adapt to the coastline (on-going)

5. Starting collecting Quaternary data (Deadine 30. Sept 2014)

SEITE 621.04.23 6

The WP 4 Guidelines

• for semantic transformation (to One-Geology-Europe/INSPIRE Standards),

• Includes the vocabulary (+ definitions)– Age (geochronology)– Lithology– Structures/faults– Genesis (event environment,

environmental process)

• Explantions the procedure to transform our data to OneGeology-Europe/INSPIRE standards

WP 4: open points• Not all classifications received according to INSPIRE standards • Pre-Quaternary data sets not yet complete• Geomorphology vocabulary not yet available (Task WP lead

BGR)• Coastline: Russia Barents Sea and White Sea:

In EMODNET standard coastline strongly generalized – islands and intricate coast not sufficiently displayed

Thank you very much for your contributions to-date.

A good time for questions!
