EMODNET-Geology EMODNET Progress Meeting Brussels 29 November 2010

Brief overview Progress (including difficulties, feedback, interactions with other EMONET lots) Portal Timetable for rest of project ur-EMODNET meeting, Brussels, Belgium 29 November 2010

EMODNET - Geology 14 partners Geological surveys of Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Ireland and UK. All partners are members of EuroGeoSurveys Marine Geology Expert Group (will demonstrate EMODNET to other partners at next annual meeting) Co-ordinated by NERC/BGS ur-EMODNET meeting, Brussels, Belgium 29 November 2010

Main deliverables Sea-bed sediments including rate of accumulation or sedimentation Sea-floor geology (age, lithology, origin) Boundaries and faults Rate of coastal erosion or sedimentation Geological events and event probabilities (landslides, volcanic, earthquake epicentres) Seismic profiles Minerals (including aggregates, oil and gas) Available via an internet portal (OneGeology -Europe) ur-EMODNET meeting, Brussels, Belgium 29 November 2010

WP5 Coastal erosion or sedimentation ur-EMODNET meeting, Brussels, Belgium 29 November TNO (Dutch survey) developing 3D models that allow sediment volumes to be calculated Example: Rotterdam harbour

WP7 Minerals Progress has been slow on resource layers due to ICES and Ospar coordinators not being willing to share compilations of mineral data Direct contact with data sources is ongoing with a view to complete compilation by the end of ur-EMODNET meeting, Brussels, Belgium 29 November 2010

Metadata for each layer ur-EMODNET meeting, Brussels, Belgium 29 November 2010

EMODNET Geology and One-GeologyEurope Share methodologies and communications objectives Develop international exchange standard for geology (GeoSciML) Contributes to INSPIRE Implementing Rules OGE is registered as the European contribution to the geological layer for GEOSS and contributes to GMES. Web portal providing multi-lingual access to data Best practice guides Data standards will be non-proprietory and include GeoSciML and other open web service technologies including OGC, WMS, WFS, OGC WCS etc. ur-EMODNET meeting, Brussels, Belgium 29 November 2010

Interoperable marine geological data layers Scientific and informatics specifications for the harmonisations of low-resolution data Local examples that demonstrate higher resolution harmonisation (NOC North Atlantic) Multilingual discovery metadata Robust data model in line with OGE Links to metadata/data resources (GeoSeas) Vocabularies in line with those used by Geo-Seas Web portal Documented best practice for delivery of geological data ur-EMODNET meeting, Brussels, Belgium 29 November 2010 Results of project
