Purpose

This map represents an update of the geological cartography of the Iberian Peninsula and the entire island territory of Spain and Portugal at a scale of 1:1,000,000, as a synthesis of the improvement of geological knowledge that resulted from the completion of the MAGNA series of geological cartography at a scale of 1:50,000 of the IGME, for the Spanish territory, and the systematic series of cartography of the Portuguese territory developed by the LNEG. It includes for the first time the geological mapping of the continental shelf and that of the Portuguese Atlantic islands.

Specific usage

The geological map of Spain and Portugal at 1:1 000 000 scale can be used as a tool for dissemination and teaching purposes. It also can be used as a reference publication about the Geology of Spain and Portugal for the elaboration of derived maps at the same scale as hydrogeological, natural hazards or mineral resources maps.

Statement

The Geological Map of Spain and Portugal at a scale of 1:1 000 000 was compiled from various sources. The continental part of the map was compiled from previous 1:400,000 scale syntheses prepared for each of the major geological units in Spain, namely the Variscan Massif, the Pyrenees, the Betic Cordillera, the Cantabrian and Iberian Cordillera and the basins of the Duero, Tagus and Ebro rivers, and the 1:200,000 scale geological cartography carried out in Portugal. A group of experts simplified this initial information and compiled it according to the common legend defined for the map. The mapping of the Spanish islands was elaborated from the original information of the IGME cartographic series at various scales and the geological mapping at scales 1:25 000 and 1:50 000 for the Portuguese Atlantic islands. The geological mapping of the continental margin was elaborated from several cartographic sources at different scales: Geological Maps of the Spanish Continental Shelf at scale 1:200 000 and the Geological Map of the Quaternary at scale 1:1 000 000 published by the IGME, the Geological Map of Portugal at scale 1:1 000 000 000 (LNEG-LGM) including the new version of the Geological Map of the Portuguese Continental Shelf at scale 1:2 000 000 000 and the Geological Map of the Bay of Biscay (BRGM). This cartography was complemented with geological data acquired in oceanographic campaigns carried out in the framework of different research projects with the participation of the IGME and the LNEG, as well as the Spanish Continental Shelf Expansion Project, in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Description

Stage 1 - Compilation of cartographic information produced by the IGME and the LNEG, at different scales: 1:25.000, 1:50.000, 1:200.000 and 1:1.000.000 produced by the IGME and also at 1:500.000 scale by the LNEG..

Description

Stage 2 - Preparation of cartographic syntheses at a scale of 1:400,000 for each of the major geological regions of Spain, namely: Variscan Massif, Pyrenees, Betic, Cantabrian and Iberian C. and the Duero, Tagus and Ebro basins, and synthesis of the geological cartography at a scale of 1:200,000 for Portugal.

Description

Stage 3 - Adjustment and marriage of the different regions and cartographies (including at the border) creating the general legend and assembling the complete map.

Description

Stage 4 - Adaptation of the cartography of the peninsular territory and the Balearic archipelago to the topographic base BCN1250 ETRS89, HUSO 30 of the National Geographic Institute.

Description

Step 5 - Digitisation of the Atlantic island territories in their respective projections and zones, namely REGCAN95 UTM28N for the Canary Islands, AZORES CENTRAL 1995, UTM 28N projection for the Azores Archipelago and ITRF93, UTM 28N projection for the Madeira Archipelago..

Description

Step 6 - The geology of the continental margin was generated in two blocks; Spanish and Portuguese shelf. The Spanish shelf was divided into 3 zones: Cantabrian, Mediterranean and Gulf of Cadiz in the ED50UTM30N projection, being imported into ArcGis v.10. The block of the Portuguese platform was delivered by the LNEG in Transverse Mercator Huso 31. For its assembly, all the information was projected to ERTRS89 UTM30N with ArcGis 10, adjusting the elements in continuity between both (Spanish and Portuguese part) and at the same time to both margins (platform and terrestrial).

Description

Step 7 - Composition and layout of the printed version of the map made with MAPublisher v. 9 software for Adobe Illustrator CC2014 from files.

Description

Stage 8 - Integration of the final information into an ArcGis v10 File Geodatabase and correction and adaptation to the INSPIRE data model.

Description

The rock units of the sheet separated by different types of contacts are represented, together with the tectonic structure, faults and map traces of folds, the orientation and dip of planar and linear elements contained in the rocks, structural and textural singularities of igneous and metamorphic rocks, water points, mineral deposits and indications, presence of fossils and other elements of punctual representation..
