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.
BGR conducted an airborne survey in the region of Finsterwalde (Brandeburg) as part of the BGR project D-AERO-Finsterwalde. This project is a pilot study to survey the "Finsterwalder Restlochkette" with the BGR airborne geophysical standard measuring system. The former lignite mining area is located between Finsterwalde and Lauchhammer in Lower Lusatia about 50 km southwest of Cottbus. The size of the area is about 260 km². The area was surveyed with 10 flights totalling to 1742 line-km (40,153 survey points). The nominal separation of the 117 NW-SE lines and 59 NE-SW tie lines was 250 m and 625 m, respectively. The maps display the total count, the (equivalent) content of potassium, uranium and thorium as well as the exposure rate at ground.
The maps show a total of 14 newly interpreted base horizons (Middle Miocene unconformity to the base of the Zechstein) as depth maps. The input data for 3D modelling in the Duck's Bill area are available for download here.
