The StoryMap presents the application "GewiS - Geoscientific Collections online": GewiS is the digital information system of the geoscientific collections in the Geozentrum Hannover and the branch facility in Berlin-Spandau. The StoryMap informs about the possibilities the application offers, from research to loan requests for collection pieces.
The Arctic Viewer offers the option of viewing the spatial data services offered by BGR in the Arctic area in stereographic projection and combining them with one another. Web services from the topics geology, geochemistry and geophysics are currently presented.
BGR's 3D web viewer allows for a visualisation of the its produced 3D subsurface models from various perspectives and camera positions by using only a web browser. Each of the geologic horizons of a model can be separately switched on and off. The information belonging to a horizon can be queried by clicking with the mouse on the displayed object. The user can chose which model data are to be exported, thereby loading the data to the own computer. Predefined camera positions give a quick access to the visualisation of a model. The web application offers essential tools to explore the 3D model such as rotation, zoom and panning functions, or adjustment of the exaggeration in vertical direction. Additionally, the user has the choice between different topographic data which can be put on top of the model. By means of the slicer function parts of the model can be blanked out, so the user gains more detailed insights into the model. Moreover, virtual boreholes and profile sections can be interactively created. Filter functions, spatial measuring tools and storing of scalable screen shots complete the functionalities. Further hints for the usage of the web application are found on the graphical user interface.
The World-wide Hydrogeological Mapping and Assessment Programme (WHYMAP) provides data and information about the earth´s major groundwater resources. The WHYMAP Viewer provides access to the topics “Groundwater Resources of the World", "World-wide River and Groundwater Basins", "World-wide Groundwater Vulnerability", "Karst Aquifers of the World", and to the “World-wide Hydrogeological Map Information System (WHYMIS)”.
The Online Public Access Catalogue includes the holdings of the library and archive: geoscientific monographs, journals, articles, maps and unpublished archival documents. Literature from the time before 1990 is not yet fully listed and can only be searched using formal criteria (e.g. title, author, or year).
With the Hanover City Railway we will go on a time travel through the geology of Hanover. Under the streets of Hanover - in German: UStraH - we travel through 170 million years of earth history between the Upper Cretaceous and the Zechstein. We will show you what awaits you on this journey with ten selected stops.
The data set provides information on the surface deformation of Germany. The surface deformation is color coded as the mean velocity over the time span indicated in the title. The data set was generated using a Persistent Scatterer Interferometry analysis based on Copernicus Sentinel-1 SAR data. The data set contains modified Copernicus Sentinel-1 data 2014-2019
