CARG project: geological maps, 3D subsoil models and databases in one click

The CARG Project has developed new tools with the aim of responding to the needs of decision makers, businesses, technicians and citizens to make surface and subsoil geological data increasingly accessible and easily usable.

A new access point to all the geological and geothematic maps, the subsoil sheets, the related explanatory notes and databases, produced in the CARG Project, downloadable and reusable, which is accompanied by Geo-IT3D a viewer for navigating and querying the 3D geological models available throughout the country, with harmonized and freely downloadable data.

Two new tools, created by ISPRA for the CARG Project, capable of guaranteeing the sharing and reuse of strategic and high-value data (High-Value Datasets) and providing the knowledge of our territory necessary to effectively respond to future challenges in the field of geological hazards, water, mineral and renewable energy resources, safety of citizens and infrastructures.
