Seabed substrate maps of the European Seas at 1: 1 000 000 and 250 000 scales, and map showing sedimentation rates at the seafloor. Seabed substrate maps at 1: 1 000 000 and 1: 250 000 scales are collated and harmonized from seabed substrate information within the EMODnet-Geology project. The EMODnet-Geology project started in 2013 with 36 marine departments of the geological surveys of Europe (from 30 countries), with an objective to assemble marine geological information from all European sea areas. The sedimentation rate map of the European Seas shows point-source data based on e.g. 137Cs or 210Pb dating.

Seabed substrate maps of the European Seas at 1:1 000 000, 1:250 000 and 1:100 000 scales, and map showing sedimentation rates at the seafloor. Seabed substrate maps at 1: 1 000 000, 1: 250 000 and 100 000 scales are collated and harmonized from seabed substrate information. The latest EMODnet-Geology III project started in 2017 with 39 marine departments of the geological surveys of Europe from 30 countries. The sedimentation rate map of the European Seas shows point-source data based on e.g. 137Cs or 210Pb dating.

Sea-bed substrate map, sediment accumulation rate map and case studies of the EMODnet-Geology study area. The sea-bed substrate map of the Baltic Sea, the Greater North Sea and the Celtic Seas is presented at 1: 1 000 000 scale. The sea-bed substrate map is collated from more than 200 separate sea-bed substrate maps. The sediment accumulation rate map of the Baltic Sea and parts of the Greater North Sea shows point-source data from more than 600 sea-bed sediment sampling sites. Six case studies emphasize the importance of marine geological information, local features and detailed surveys in marine spatial planning and use of marine resources. The maps and case studies are collated and compiled within the EMODNET-Geology project.
