    The dataset presents three layers of geothermal data from Iceland based on "Atlas of Geothermal Resources in Europe" (2002). Heat-flow density, Temperature at 1000 meters and Temperature at 2000 meters (1:10 000 000).

    Íslenskur jarðvegur telst til eldfjallajarðar (Andosol) að langmestum hluta, en eldfjallajörð er jarðvegur sem myndast á eldvirkum svæðum heimsins. Eldfjallajörð hefur afar sérstæða eiginleika sem greina hana frá öðrum jarðvegsgerðum. Útbúin var einföld flokkun fyrir íslenskan jarðveg, sem m.a. byggist á alþjóðlegum flokkunarkerfum en einnig á vinnu Björns Jóhannessonar og Þorsteins Guðmundssonar. Flokkunin gerir greinarmun á i) jarðvegi auðna (glerjörð sem skiptist í melajörð, malarjörð, sandjörð og vikurjörð; ii) jarðvegi gróins lands með sortueiginleika (sortujörð, sem skiptist í brúnjörð, votjörð og svartjörð), iii) lífrænni mójörð og að síðustu iv) öðrum jarðvegi sem er margvíslegur að gerð. Í síðasta flokknum er bergjörð útbreiddust, en auk þess má nefna frerajörð sífrerasvæða og kalkjörð. Jarðvegskortið var unnið á grundvelli sniða og jarðvegssýna sem safnað hefur verið víða um landið. Kortið er á vektora formi og í mælikvarða 1:500 000. Það er m.a. hluti evrópska jarðvegskortsins. A soil map of Iceland: The Soil map classification separates between; 1) andic soils, which are Brown Andosols, Gleyic Andosols and Histic Andosols; 2) Vitrisols, soils of deserts, which are divided into Cambic Vitrisols, Gravelly Vitrisols, Arenic Vitrisols and Pumice Vitrisols iii) Histosols, and iv) other soil types such as Cryosols and Leptosols. The classification system is in part based on WRB system and Soil Taxonomy and earlier work by Björn Jóhannesson and Þorsteinn Guðmundsson (see English Summary and 1. table in http://www.moldin.net/uploads/3/9/3/3/39332633/jardvegskort_2.pdf). The map is in a coarse scale (1:500 000) and is not intended to use for particular points on the landscape. It is rather an overview. It has been incorporated into the EU soil database and the Circumpolar soil map.

    Gagnasafn (GDB) NI_J600v_hoggun: Jarðfræðikorti af Íslandi – Höggun – 1:600.000 [Geological Map of Iceland – Tectonics – 1:600.000]. Höggunarkort af Íslandi sýnir jarðfræði landsins á nýstárlegan hátt. Jarðlög eru flokkuð eftir aldri en ekki eftir gerð og samsetningu. Sýnd eru eldstöðvakerfi, þ.e. megineldstöðvar, sprungu- og gangareinar, bæði virkar og útkulnaðar. Einnig eru sýnd helstu brotakerfi landsins og halli jarðlaga. Kortið gefur innsýn í jarðfræðilega byggingu landsins. [The Tectonic Map of Iceland gives a new view of the country's geology. The rocks are classified by age, but not by type or composition. Volcanic systems including central volcanoes, fissures and dyke swarms, both active and extinct, are shown, as are the island's principal fracture zones and the dip of rock layers. The map thus gives a useful insight into the geological structure of the country.]

    Gagnasafn (GDB) NI_J600v_berg_2.utg: Jarðfræðikorti af Íslandi – Berggrunnur – 1:600.000 [Geological Map of Iceland – Bedrock geology – 1:600.000]. Berggrunnskort af Íslandi sýnir stærstu drættina í jarðfræði landsins. Jarðlög eru flokkuð eftir aldri, gerð og samsetningu. Kortið sýnir vel gosbelti landsins og dreifingu gossstöðva frá nútíma. Nútímahraunum er skipt í forsöguleg og söguleg hraun (yngri en 871 e. Kr. ). [The Geological Map of Iceland shows the main features of the bedrock geology. Formation are classified by age, type, and composition. The map clearly shows the island's volcanic zones and the distribution of the recent eruption sites. Lava fields of the Holocene are shown as pre-historic or historic (younger than AD 871].]

    This GIS dataset depicts the surficial geology of the NTS map area 84B (polygon features). The 1:250 000 scale dataset was compiled from four published 1:100 000 scale maps (AGS maps 265, 266, 267 and 267). The aggregated data was generalized based on lithologic unit name. The process was overseen by the mapping geologist.The data are created in ArcInfo format and output for public distribution in Arc export (E00) and shapefile formats.

    This GIS dataset is part of a digital compilation of the bedrock geology of Alberta. It is one of the datasets used to produce Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) Map 600. This dataset contains 1) geological units that are represented by lines because they are too narrow to represent as polygons at 1:1 000 000 scale. 2) stratigraphic terminology boundaries that represent the approximate locations of where the names applied to intervals of strata change. These commonly correspond to lateral facies changes, which are gradational. The data were created in geodatabase format and output for public distribution in shapefile format. AGS Open File Report 2013-02 presents additional information on data sources related to this dataset.

    The Geological Atlas of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin was designed primarily as a reference volume documenting the subsurface geology of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. This GIS dataset is one of a collection of shapefiles representing part of Chapter 12 of the Atlas, Devonian Woodbend-Winterburn Strata of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, Figure 11, Woodbend Reef Complexes and Index Map. Shapefiles were produced from archived digital files created by the Alberta Geological Survey in the mid-1990s, and edited in 2005-06 to correct, attribute and consolidate the data into single files by feature type and by figure.

    In 2008 Exploration Syndicate Inc. contracted Geotech Inc. to fly a regional-scale ZTEM survey covering a 25,000 km2 area (1 km line spacing) in the Selwyn basin. The survey footprint straddles the Canol Road in east-central Yukon and overlaps into the western Northwest Territories. In March 2013 Yukon Geological Survey purchased the survey data, and in May we received approval to distribute the data publicly. As no interpretation was included with the purchase of the data, Condor Consulting Inc. offered to process the data and generate maps, gridded data, and a report. Condor undertook the work at no charge, and their contribution to the project is gratefully acknowledged. This Miscellaneous Report comprises a number of parts: - original survey report produced by Geotech Ltd. describing the data acquisition and processing parameters; - raw survey data acquired from Exploration Syndicate Inc.; - a report summarizing the processing and interpretation undertaken by Condor Consulting; - a series of maps in pdf and tiff formats; and - gridded data. File sizes are large. If you experience problems downloading any of the products or would like to obtain the raw data, Geotech data, Multiplots, or any of the other files please contact us at geology@gov.yk.ca. The project was funded by the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor) through their Strategic Investments in Northern Economic Development program.
