Open-access European geological data from the European Geological Data Infrastructure (EGDI) Map viewer and Data search. A collaborative initiative aimed at facilitating the sharing, integration, and accessibility of geological information across Europe. It serves as a comprehensive platform that brings together geological data from various sources, including national geological surveys, research institutions, and other geological organizations.
Launched in June 2016, EGDI focuses on harmonizing geological data standards and promoting interoperability to ensure seamless exchange of information among different stakeholders. By creating a unified framework, it enables geoscientists, policymakers, researchers, and the public to access a wealth of geological data efficiently.
EGDI plays a crucial role in supporting geological research, environmental management, and natural resources, and is a fundamental element of the Geological Services for Europe (GSEU).
The specific objectives of GSEU are to develop a pan-European harmonised data and information services in Europe with a focus on:
– Critical raw materials
– Geothermal energy resources and subsurface storage capacities for sustainable energy carriers and CO2 sequestration
– Groundwater dynamics and quality, geological and climate change information for coastal vulnerability assessment and geological baseline information
