These maps were derived and compiled from numerous data sources of different scales. They represent the pre-Quaternary and Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology of European off-shore areas at the scales of 1:25 000 to 1:5 million, compiled from the contributions from the EMODnet project partners and the IGME 5000. Properties effected by the INSPIRE Directive were transferred by the each project partner corresponding to the INSPIRE geology vocabularies.
