  • A database of faults showing geological evidence of activity during the Quaternary period in Iberia (last 2.6 million years according to the official limit set by IQS in 2009). The Quaternary Active Fault Database of Iberia (QAFI) is a project under constant revision and updating as a consequence of the advancing studies and knowledge on the structures capable of generating earthquakes in Iberia. QAFI could never be considered complete or definitive, due to the scientific nature of the data that contains in it as well as for the modus operandi followed in its construction: the altruist cooperation of a large number of Earth science researchers. The database (mdb. and shp. format) is hosted and maintained by the Geological Survey of Spain (IGME) and is accessible to the research and technical community and to society in general.

  • Dataset contains information related to the mining operations (both abandoned or operating continuously or intermittently) and minerals occurrences of industrial minerals and rocks. These data have been generated by the IGME along numerous projects since the early 70s to the present. It has national coverage.

  • This map represents the result of the cartographic homogenisation of the MAGNA geological map series (National Geological Cartography at a scale of 1:50.000). Series that integrates 1143 maps. As a consequence of the long process involved in the historical execution of this series, there are differences between its initial and final phases, in terms of criteria for assigning geological units, level of detail, continuity of geological units and structures at the edges of sheets, coding and symbologies. With the aim of correcting these problems, the GEODE PLAN was initiated in 2004, which constitutes the institutional support for the generation of a continuous digital geological map at a scale of 1:50,000. The PLAN integrates 19 Regional Projects linked to their corresponding geological zones. Its fundamental objectives are threefold: - To provide cartographic continuity to the geological sheets of the MAGNA series within each region. - To generate a unified legend of geological units for each region. - To adapt the geological coverage to a uniform topographic base, generated specifically for the GEODE PLAN from the national topographic map 1:25000 of the IGN.

  • The Tectonic Map of the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands has been made according to the guidelines given by the elaboration of the International Tectonic Map of Europe in the 1960s. The principles of representation adopted in this map have a double purpose: to differentiate the major structural elements of the earth's crust, and to record the earth's dynamics in the past. Map of the geographical distribution of the large structural units of the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands classified into two large groups: platform areas and orogens, from which three units have been derived: Hercynian Mountains, Alpine Mountains and Platform, Mesozoic and Tertiary areas. The cartographic units represented have been delimited based on their temporal relationships with the age of deformation, in the case of the Cordilleras. The structural relations between the units are reflected by the trace of the large folding structures and the faults. The different degrees of metamorphism to which the different rock groups have been subjected are also included.

  • The first layer is a Landslide density map (LANDEN). The second layer is an average landslide density for each administrative area. A detailed explanation of these layers can be found in: Herrera, G., Mateos, R. M., García-Davalillo, J. C., Grandjean, G., Poyiadji, E., Maftei, R., ... and Trigila, A. (2017).

  • Map with the chronolithostratigraphic units of the Valencian Community accompanied by faults and folding structures. It is a unified geological synthesis based on IGME maps of this territory at 1:200.000 and 1:50.000 scale.

  • The map show the number of trajectories that pass through each pixel.

  • Map showing the chronolithostratigraphic units of the Region of Murcia grouped by the different structural domains present in the region, accompanied by the tectonic structure expressed by faults and traces of folding structures. On the Neogene and Quaternary units, the different facies present in each of them have been differentiated, reflecting the sedimentation domain and system, the geomorphological unit and the lithology.

  • The Lithological Map of the Iberian Peninsula, Balearic and Canary Islands at a scale of 1:1,000,000 is a map produced by the Geological Survey of Spain (IGME) based on the Geological Map of the Iberian Peninsula, Balearic and Canary Islands published in 1995. The cartographic units represented in it have been established using lithological criteria, with the lithological association defining the limits of each unit. The geological information on the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands is in UTM projection, zone 30, Postdam datum. The information for the Canary Islands is in UTM projection, zone 28, datum Pico de las Nieves. The map is distributed free of charge in shape format through the IGME website.
