  • Geology and Geomorphology of the portuguese offshore of the Pre-Quaternary, using as reference the Geological Chart of the Immersed Area, Scale 1: 2 000 000, of the Geological Chart of Portugal, Scale 1: 1 000 000. National Laboratory of Energy and Geology (LNEG) 2010 .

  • This work was carried out by the GTAER - Working Group for the Definition of Renewable Energy Acceleration Areas, created by Order no. 11912/2023 of 23 November, and is intended to consolidate and strengthen the previous work carried out to identify the areas with the least sensitivity for the location of renewable electricity production units (solar photovoltaic and wind). The work presented here assessed the potential for implementing these units in natural areas or territories. The process of identifying PRAAs, took into account 5 different scenarios, depending on whether or not the following constraints were excluded: (i) areas relating to aquifers classified as porous or essentially porous, belonging to the western edge and the Tejo-Sado basin; (ii) areas relating to the distance between residential and mixed-use built-up areas and (iii) available RAN (National Agricultural Reserve) and REN (National Ecological Reserve) areas. The areas presented contribute to the definition of future preferential RAAs areas - they do not constitute the formal definition of the RAAs. In future RAAs, the licensing process will be simplified. It should be noted that these areas are not exclusive, and renewable energy units can be implemented in the rest of the territory in accordance with the normal licensing process. The results presented reflect the situation as of February/March 2024.

  • This map was developed to integrate the 2nd version of the PNS - Portuguese Natural Stones - Portal. It contains points, which correspond to the geographic coordinates (central) of the quarrying site(s) where the natural stones included in PNS Portal are quarried. Selecting each point on the map allows access to a table, which includes: - stone code on the PNS Portal; - main commercial names; - stone type; - petrological family; - geographic coordinates (EPSG 4326); - link to the stone’s Technical Sheet, on the PNS Portal.

  • Database that stores and catalogues thin sections and polished surfaces, as well as the corresponding source samples, providing a valuable resource for the scientific community.

  • Areas that evidence the occurrence of submarine landslides, located between the Middle Atlantic Rift zone (Azores archipelago) and the Continental margin.

  • Sedimentological characterization of part of the continental shelf. Folk classification (7 classes).

  • Volcanic centres in the Portuguese offshore, located between the Mid-Atlantic Rift zone (Azores archipelago) and the continental margin.
