Geological mapping of the whole country based on the Dufour Map of Switzerland. Comprised of eight sheets, published between 1942 and 1964, the General Geological Map of Switzer...
This dataset shows the deposits and former mining sites of fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas etc.) in Switzerland. Currently, no fossil fuels are being mined commercially in ...
The 1:200'000 geotechnical map (GK200) shows the subsurface strata classified according to lithological-petrographic criteria. The legend is designed to represent the technical ...
This dataset shows the deposits and former mining sites of metallic minerals (ores) in Switzerland. Metals are no longer commercially mined in Switzerland. The dataset is part o...
The Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) is the body within the Swiss Geological Survey responsible for hydrogeology. The 1:500,000 Hydrogeological Map forms part of the Ge...
The 1:500,000 Geological Map of Switzerland covers the whole of Switzerland and adjoining parts of neighbouring countries. It gives an overview of the distribution of the upperm...
The overall magnetisation of a rock consists of induced magnetisation caused by the Earth's magnetic field and of remanent magnetisation acquired by the rock during its formatio...
Isostatic anomalies can be deduced using the Pratt or Airy hypothesis. These anomalies correspond to the static flotation of the Earth’s crust in the upper mantle. The deviation...
Gravitational acceleration or gravity depends on the location of the measuring point and the mass distribution in the subsurface structure. A Bouguer anomaly is the difference b...
The data on the cement industry is part of the Geotechnical Environmental Atlas (GEA) of the Swiss Geotechnical Commission, a database of mineral deposits in Switzerland. This d...
The geothermal map shows the thermal energy that is produced in the subsurface and traverses the Earth's surface within an area of 1 m2. The heat itself is released in the Earth...
The Bouguer anomalies for Switzerland are shown on 22 sheets. A Bouguer anomaly is the difference between the gravity measured at a particular point on the Earth's surface and t...
Geomagnetic maps are the result of measurements of total intensity, declination and inclination. The declination describes the angle formed between magnetic and geographic north...
The 1:200'000 map of mineral resources (RK200) classifies the subsurface strata according to geochemical criteria. The map is overlaid with point data showing the occurrence of ...
Geomagnetic maps are the result of measurements of total intensity, declination and inclination. The geomagnetic field is defined by a vector, which isrepresented in terms of it...
The GeoCover datasets are available according to the sheet division of the National Maps 1:25,000. To obtain a complete coverage of Switzerland, datasets can be found in the lay...
Geomagnetic maps are the result of measurements of total intensity, declination and inclination. The inclination is the angle formed by the orientation of the magnetic field rel...
The Tectonic Map of Switzerland (GK500-Tekto) covers the whole of Switzerland and adjoining parts of neighbouring countries. It shows the large-scale structural and tectonic uni...
The map (GK500-LGM) shows the maximum extent of glaciation in Switzerland at the height of the last Ice Age around 24,000 years ago. It presents the latest results of current re...
