  • The map series General Geological Map of the Federal Republic of Germany 1:200,000 (GÜK200) is the result of cooperation between the State Geological Surveys of the Federal Republic of Germany (SGD), the Geological Surveys of neighbouring countries and the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR). The GÜK200 displays the surface geology of Germany and adjacent areas of neighbouring countries on 55 map sheets. The map sheets show the regional dissemination of more than 3800 geological units. The geological units contain information on stratigraphy (age), genesis and petrography (composition) of the rocks. Each printed/scanned map sheet contains one or several geological cross-sections which give an insight into the subsurface. The digital data of the map series are stored separately for each map sheet. According to this geological units/polygons, their boundaries, tectonic linear elements and, if present, ice sheet boundaries are saved as a discrete layer in a shapefile for the single map sheets. The attributes of the geological units contain information – like in the printed map sheets – on stratigraphy, genesis and petrography of the rocks.

  • Zambia faces an increasing demand of industrial- and drinking water. In the field Zambia faces an increasing demand of industrial- and drinking water. In the fields of water supply and management, the Zambian government cooperates with BGR as one of the implementing agencies of the German Development Cooperation and other partners. The project "Groundwater Resources for Southern Province" aims at solutions for the southern parts of the country in which surface water is scarce and only temporarily available. Accurate and updated information about quality and quantity on both surface and groundwater resources is required to regulate its use and to establish an integrated and sustainable management of the Nation’s water resources. One result of data research is reflected in the GIS-based Hydrogeological Map "Southern Kariba Lake and Kalomo", scale 1:250,000. The contents of the maps comprise: - Topography including administrative boundaries, transport, villages, towns, health centres and schools, surface elevation - Hydrography including rivers and wetlands - Surface catchment and subcatchment boundaries - Aquifers - Groundwater elevation contours and direction of groundwater flow - Water points such as boreholes and wells and thermal springs - Lithology and geological structures (faults, etc.) - Rainfall Distribution (Insert Map) - Sheet map of available hydrogeological map sheets of Southern Province, Zambia (scale 1:250,000) Additional Information: For Southern Province 2 adjacent or overlapping hydrogeological maps at scale 1:250.000 and one map at scale 1:100,000 (digital and printed version) are available. The printed version is only available as whole package (4 maps and 2 booklets).

  • The International Geological Map of Europe and the Mediteranean Regions 1 : 1 500 000 ("Carte Géologique Internationale de l'Europe et des Régions Méditerranéennes 1 : 1 500 000") shows the geology of the European continent from the Ural mountains in the east up to Island in the west and the whole mediteranean region in the south. The geology is differenciated in stratigraphy, igneous and metamorphic rocks. In addition there are two legend sheets and a title sheet. The language of the series is French.

  • The 'Geological Map 1: 200 000 (GUEK200)' shows the geology of Germany on 55 sheets. It was created in cooperation between the BGR and the National Geological Surveys of the Federal Republic of Germany and neighboring countries. The map shows the regional distribution of different geological units and provides information on the rocks in about 2 feet deep. The information about age, origin and composition of the rocks are used for questions of different disciplines. Each sheet contains the schematic representation of a section through the subsurface to illustrate the spatial structure of the over-and coexistence of the rocks.

  • The series 'Geoscience Map of Germany 1: 2 000 000' contains easily comprehensible maps on various topics. The base map "Geology" shows Germany and the adjacent areas in 30 units, differentiated by the formation age. In addition, areas with igneous and metamorphic (formed by shaping) rocks are reported. 5 different types of lines provide an overview of fracture zones in the subsurface. In addition, the expansions of the last ice age are included. A schematic cross section through the surface from south to north shows the structure of the older basement and its cover by younger rocks. It is available in two versions: one with a simple topography and once, for better orientation, with the network of interstate highways. The map 'Important deposits' shows deposits and mines of energy raw materials, metal materials, industrial minerals and salts based on a simplified, time-structured geology within Germany.

  • The International Geological Map of Europe and the Mediteranean Regions 1 : 1 500 000 ("Carte Géologique Internationale de l'Europe et des Régions Méditerranéennes 1 : 1 500 000") shows the geology of the European continent from the Ural mountains in the east up to Island in the west and the whole mediteranean region in the south. The geology is differenciated in stratigraphy, igneous and metamorphic rocks. In addition there are two legend sheets and a title sheet. The language of the series is French.

  • The maps show the thickness of the respective seismic units in meters. These are seven mapped units identified above the Middle Miocene unconformity based on seismic and borehole geophysical data. The publication "Late Cenozoic evolution of the German North Sea - Sedimentation in a subsiding basin" (Thöle et al., 2014) documents, among other things, a detailed description of these units. Sedimentation in the southern North Sea was dominated from the middle Miocene into the Pleistocene by a delta system advancing from east to west, the so-called Eridanos Delta (sensu Overeem et al., 2001). The dimensions of this fossil delta are comparable to those of the largest delta systems on Earth today (Schwarz, 1996). The evolution of this depositional system has been the subject of numerous scientific studies in recent decades (e.g., Sörensen et al., 1997; Overeem et al., 2001; Kuhlmann, 2004), but these have focused mainly on the neighboring North Sea sectors and relatively little was known about the German part. However, for the overall understanding of the deltaic sedimentation prevailing in this time interval and its evolution, the German part is indispensable, since from the Upper Miocene until the late Pliocene, the main depositional area of the giant delta was predominantly located in the present-day German North Sea sector. Based on extensive seismic data and geophysical borehole information, a detailed mapping of the late Cenozoic delta deposits in the German North Sea sector has been carried out for the first time. The subdivision of the sedimentary sequence, which was previously only roughly subdivided or not subdivided at all, was carried out according to seismostratigraphic and sequence-stratigraphic concepts (e.g. Mitchum et al., 1977; Catuneanu, 2006). Then, seven regionally significant seismic horizons above the Middle Miocene unconformity were identified and temporally calibrated using new biostratigraphic dating. They subdivide the Late Cenozoic sedimentary sequence into seven main depositional units, namely SU1 to SU7. The units, each bounded at its base and top by prominent unconformities, reflect successive phases of deltaic development. Literature: Thöle, H., Gaedicke, C., Kuhlmann, G., and Reinhardt, L. (2014).
