    The Digital Geological Map of Denmark 1:25,000, version 7.0, is a nationwide geological dataset describing the distribution of near-surface soil and sediment types across Denmark. The dataset is produced and maintained by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and represents the latest version of the digital soil and sediment map at a scale of 1:25,000. The map is based on an integrated interpretation of geological field observations, borehole data, historical analogue maps, and more recent digital datasets. Soil and sediment units are classified according to their lithological and genetic characteristics and represent the dominant materials in the uppermost geological layers. The dataset is continuously updated, and version 7.0 includes both revisions of previously mapped areas and newly mapped regions. The dataset is widely used as a foundation for geological analysis, land-use planning, environmental assessment, groundwater protection, raw material management, research, and education. In version 7 from 2023, 93% of Denmark's land area is classified, and the map is continuously supplemented. The map and sediment type description are published in GEUS report 2023/29, where further information is available.
