The European Urban Atlas provides reliable, inter-comparable, high-resolution land use and land cover change data for 785 Functional Urban Areas (FUA) with more than 50,000 inhabitants between the reference years 2012 and 2018 in EEA38 countries (EU, EFTA, Western Balkan countries as well as Türkiye) and United Kingdom. The spatial data can be downloaded together with a map for each FUA covered and a report with the metadata for the respective area. The Urban Atlas Change layers have become available as of 2012. Urban Atlas is a joint initiative of the European Commission Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy and the Directorate-General for Defence Industry and Space in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme, with the support of the European Space Agency and the European Environment Agency.

This metadata refers to the 'Corine Land Cover Plus Backbone' (CLCplus Backbone), a spatially detailed, large-scale, Earth Observation-based land cover inventory which is produced by the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS). The CLCplus Backbone vector is a land cover map that contains vector polygon geometries (minimum mapping unit: 0.5 ha; minimum mapping width: 20 m) and is based on Sentinel satellite time series and a combination of existing reference datasets for geometries containing transportation and hydrological networks. Each polygon represents aggregated landscape objects and contains their dominant land cover among the 18 basic land cover classes. See polygon class codes in the additional information section. In addition, polygons are enriched with land cover fractions from the CLCplus Backbone raster as well as aggregated attributes based on other CLMS and Copernicus products (e.g. topography). CLCplus Backbone vector is an independent product and its thematic and geometric contents differ from CLCplus Backbone raster and Corine Land Cover. The CLCplus Backbone vector is available for the 2018 reference year.

Kjördæmi eru afmörkuð landsvæði sem mynda einn af grunnþáttum kosningakerfisins. Framboðslistar eru lagðir fram fyrir hvert og eitt kjördæmi þannig að kjósendur í sama kjördæminu geta valið á milli sömu framboðslistanna og kjörnir fulltrúar hljóta þar umboð sitt til þingsetu. Kjördæmaskipulagið og fjöldi kjósenda í hverju þeirra liggur til grundvallar þegar þingsætum er úthlutað eftir þingkosningar. Þar sem kjördæmaskipulagið er ráðandi fyrir vægi atkvæða kjósenda hefur það mikil áhrif á það hvaða frambjóðendur fá sæti á þingi að loknum kosningum. Kjördæmaskipulagið er því meðal þess sem oft hefur orðið að deiluefni. Þegar gerðar voru á því verulegar breytingar kostuðu þær jafnan pólitísk átök og allar hafa þær þýtt málamiðlanir milli ólíkra sjónarmiða.

[IS] Vetrarfuglatalningar eru ein lengsta samfellda vöktun sem stunduð hefur verið hér á landi og sú sem tekur til flestra fuglategunda. Frá upphafi hafa áhugamenn unnið þetta verk í sjálfboðavinnu og á annað hundrað manns taka þátt. Talningar fara fram á föstum dögum í kringum áramót. Markmið vetrarfuglatalninga er að safna upplýsingum um fjölda og dreifingu fugla að vetrarlagi. Talningar eru staðlaðar og nýtast til vöktunar einstakra stofna. Sjá niðurstöður vetrarfuglatalninga: https://www.natt.is/is/vetrarfuglatalningar-nidurstodur [EN] Winter bird counts are one of the longest-running continuous monitoring efforts in Iceland and the one that covers the greatest number of bird species. From the beginning, this work has been carried out by volunteers, with around a hundred people participating. The counts take place on fixed dates around the New Year. The aim of the winter bird counts is to collect information on the number and distribution of birds during the winter. The counts are standardized and are used to monitor individual populations.

[IS] Gagnasettið sýnir staðsetningar botndýra sem hafa rannsökuð við íslandsstrendur. Innan íslenskrar efnahagslögsögu eru þekktar rúmlega 2.500 tegundir sjávardýra, en vísast eru þær umtalsvert fleiri. Tegundafjölbreytni hinna ýmsu dýrafylkinga á Íslandsmiðum er afar misvel þekkt en fastlega má gera ráð fyrir að hlutföllin séu svipuð og á heimsvísu. Upplýsingar um ýmsar tegundir sjávardýra á Íslandsmiðum eru á vefsíðum um dýrahópa, sjá: https://www.natt.is/is/leit-i-biota?kingdom_group.keyword=%2522D%25C3%25BDr%20%2528Animalia%2529%2522 [EN] The dataset shows the locations of benthic invertebrates that have been studied along the coasts of Iceland. Over 2,500 marine animal species have been found in Iceland’s exclusive economic zone, but there are certainly many more. Species diversity within some animal phyla in Icelandic waters is still poorly understood. Presumably, however, species fall under different phyla in similar proportions as elsewhere in the world. Information on marine animal species in Icelandic waters can be found on animal fact sheets on the NSII website.see: https://www.natt.is/is/leit-i-biota?kingdom_group.keyword=%2522D%25C3%25BDr%20%2528Animalia%2529%2522

[IS] Staðsetningar borkjarna og borsvarfs í Borkjarnasafni Náttúrufræðistofununnar. Náttúrufræðistofnun hefur það hlutverk að varðveita borkjarna sem falla til við jarðboranir víða um land við framkvæmdir eða í rannsóknaskyni. Borkjarnar og borsvarf veita innsýn í þann hluta berggrunnsins sem ekki er sýnilegur á yfirborði jarðar og eru nauðsynleg gögn við jarðvísindalegar rannsóknir, hvort sem um ræðir grunnrannsóknir eða hagnýtar rannsóknir við undirbúning mannvirkjagerðar eða nýtingar náttúruauðlinda. Safnið geymdi í lok árs 2024 um 100 kílómetra af borkjörnum auk borsvarfs úr borholum sem samtals eru yfir 470 km að lengd. Telur gagnagrunnur safnsins nú tæplega 11 þúsund kassa af borkjörnum úr um 1.800 borholum, sem og um 5.000 bakka af borsvarfi úr um 2.300 borholum. Í safninu er einnig talsverður fjöldi sýna sem tekin hafa verið úr borkjörnum og varðveitt aðskilin frá meginhluta kjarnanna.

The Drill Core Library (DCL) of the Natural Science Institute of Iceland comprises over 100 km of drill cores and large quantities of drill cuttings from scientific and applied research drilling throughout Iceland. Drill cores and drill cuttings enable us to examine those portions of the bedrock that are not exposed at the surface. They are essential sources of data for geoscientific research, both fundamental research and applied studies for construction or utilization of natural resources. The DCL includes cores from research drilling in Surtsey in 1979 and 2017, which shed remarkable light on the inner evolution of the island after the eruption, and a core from a 2 km-deep research borehole in drilled in Reyðarfjörður in 1978. The collection also includes a vast array of cores drilled in connection with the construction of tunnels and hydroelectric power plants and other research on energy resources.

Small Woody Features are important vectors of biodiversity and provide information on fragmentation of habitats with a direct potential for restoration while also providing a link to hazard protection and green infrastructure, amongst others. VHR_IMAGE_2021 made available in the ESA Copernicus DWH was the main data source for the detection of small woody features identifiable within the given image resolution. The Small Woody Features layer contains woody linear and patchy elements but will not be further differentiated into trees, hedges, bushes and scrub. The spatial pattern shall be limited to linear structures and isolated patches on the basis of geometric characteristics. This product is a vector dataset distributed as OGC GeoPackage files, compliant with the EEA reference grid (100km x 100km).
