  • This spatial dataset is part of the High Value Datasets/HVD identified in agreement with Implementing Regulation 2023/138 of Directive (EU) 2019/1024 on open data and the re-use of public sector information. The Geological Map of Portugal at a scale of 1:1 000 000, published by LNEG in 2010, constitutes the synthesis document of the current knowledge about the geology of mainland Portugal and all insular territory: the Azores and Madeira Archipelagos. This map includes for the first time the geology of the continental shelf around mainland Portugal, drawing on over 30 years of marine geological research. The map comprises: a Geological Map of Mainland Portugal, a Geological Map of the Continental Shelf, and separate geological maps for the Azores and Madeira archipelagos (all at a scale of 1:1 000 000). Additionally, it includes a Neotectonic Scheme of Mainland Portugal with Hypsometry at a scale of 1:4 000 000, a Tectono-Stratigraphic Scheme at 1:5 000 000, and a Location Map at 1:20 000 000.

  • The geological map of Spain and Portugal at 1:1 000 000 scale is a renewed version of the geological map of the Iberian Peninsula and the territories of Ceuta, Melilla and the Balearic, Canaries, Azores and Madeira islands. This small-scale map is edited jointly periodically by the Geological surveys of Spain (IGME) and Portugal (LNEG). This new version includes for the first time the geological information of the Spanish and Portuguese continental shelves and also the geology of the Atlantic Portuguese islands. This map records all the new geological knowledge provided by the complete survey at 1:50 000 scale in Spain (IGME’s MAGNA Plan) and the systematic geological mapping series developed in Portugal by the LNEG. The continental portion of the map was compiled starting from original drafts at 1:400 000 scale made for every main geological unit: Iberian Variscan Massif, Pyrenees, Betics, Cantabrian and Iberian cordilleras and the Duero, Ebro and Tajo Cenozoic basins for the territory of Spain and the geological maps at 1:200 000 scale in Portugal.

  • This spatial dataset is part of the High Value Datasets/HVD identified in agreement with Implementing Regulation 2023/138 of Directive (EU) 2019/1024 on open data and the re-use of public sector information. Geological Map of Portugal at scale 1:1 000 000, edited by LNEG in 2010, modified according to INSPIRE data specifications for the Geology theme. Layers depicting Geologic Units classified according to ages and lithologies from INSPIRE vocabularies are available, faults and geomorphologic features are also available. This dataset was formerly prepared in the framework of the OneGeology-Europe project.
