The European Environment Agency (EEA) is an agency of the European Union (EU) tasked with providing independent information on the environment. Established in 1990 and headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, the EEA serves as a key source of environmental data, assessments, and reports for policymakers and the public across Europe. With a focus on improving environmental decision-making and promoting sustainable development, the agency plays a vital role in monitoring, analyzing, and communicating environmental trends and challenges. At its core, the EEA aims to support the development, implementation, and evaluation of EU environmental policies. It achieves this mission through a range of activities, including data collection, analysis, and reporting. The agency collaborates with national environmental agencies in EU member states, as well as other international organizations, to gather and harmonize environmental data from across Europe. This wealth of information is then used to produce high-quality assessments and reports on various environmental topics. One of the primary functions of the EEA is to provide regular assessments of the state of Europe's environment. These assessments cover a wide range of issues, including air and water quality, biodiversity, climate change, and resource use. By compiling and analyzing data from different sources, the agency produces comprehensive reports that highlight key environmental trends, identify emerging challenges, and assess progress towards environmental objectives. These assessments are invaluable tools for policymakers, helping them to make informed decisions and prioritize actions to protect and improve the environment. In addition to assessing the state of the environment, the EEA also plays a crucial role in monitoring the effectiveness of environmental policies and measures. The agency tracks the implementation of EU environmental legislation and policies, assessing their impact on the ground. By evaluating the success or shortcomings of these policies, the EEA provides valuable feedback to policymakers, helping them to refine and strengthen environmental governance at the European level. Furthermore, the EEA acts as a hub for environmental information and knowledge exchange. The agency maintains several databases and online platforms, such as the European Environmental Data Centre (EEDC) and the European Environment Information and Observation Network (EIONET), which provide access to a wealth of environmental data, maps, and indicators. These resources are freely available to policymakers, researchers, NGOs, and the public, supporting evidence-based decision-making and fostering greater transparency and accountability in environmental governance.

EMODnet Chemistry aims to provide access to marine chemistry datasets and derived data products concerning eutrophication, acidity and contaminants. The importance of the selected substances and other parameters relates to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This aggregated dataset contains all unrestricted EMODnet Chemistry data on potential hazardous substances, despite the fact that some data might not be related to pollution (e.g. collected by deep corer). Temperature, salinity and additional parameters are included when available. It covers the Norwegian Sea, Barents Sea, Greenland Sea and Icelandic Waters. Data were harmonised and validated by the 'Institute of Marine Research - Norwegian Marine Data Centre (NMD)' in Norway. The dataset contains water and sediment profiles. The temporal coverage is 1974–2011 for water measurements and 1974–2021 for sediment measurements. Regional datasets concerning contaminants are automatically harvested and the resulting collections are harmonised and validated using ODV Software and following a common methodology for all sea regions ( https://doi.org/10.6092/8b52e8d7-dc92-4305-9337-7634a5cae3f4). Parameter names are based on P01 vocabulary, which relates to BODC Parameter Usage Vocabulary and is available at: https://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/search_nvs/P01/. The harmonised dataset can be downloaded as as an ODV spreadsheet, which is composed of a metadata header followed by tab separated values. This spreadsheet can be imported into ODV Software for visualisation (more information can be found at: https://www.seadatanet.org/Software/ODV). In addition, the same dataset is offered also as a txt file in a long/vertical format, in which each P01 measurement is a record line. Additionally, there are a series of columns that split P01 terms into subcomponents (substance, CAS number, matrix...).This transposed format is more adapted to worksheet applications (e.g. LibreOffice Calc).

The High Resolution Layer Grassland (GRA) raster product provides a binary status layer of grassland/non-grassland mask. This grassy and non-woody vegetation baseline product includes all kinds of grasslands: managed grassland, semi-natural grassland and natural grassy vegetation. It does not include temporary grasslands, which are masked out using the corresponding Ploughing indicator (PLOUGH), indicating on the number of years since a pixel was last ploughed. In the 100 meter raster product, the number of Grassland pixels are counted and the percentages stored in each 100 meter cell. The class 255 = outside area is predefined by the 100m boundary layer and remains unchanged. This dataset is provided annually starting in 2017 with 100 meter rasters (fully conformant with the EEA reference grid) in 100 x 100 km tiles covering the EEA38 countries. High Resolution Layer Grasslands product is part of the European Union’s Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. This dataset includes data from the French Overseas Territories (DOMs)
