Informative day for the Project EMODNET - Geology

The project EMODNET - Geology is at the end of its second phase. EMODnet (European Marine Observation and Data Network) - Lot Geology is a project funded by EU Directorate General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (D.G. MARE) with the aim to gather and make available geological data from European seas.  Digital maps of geological data are available on the EMODnet Geology Project Portal. They are harmonized at European level and organized into different themes which describe the geological characteristics of European seabed (sediments distribution, seafloor geology, coastal behaviour, geological events, marine minerals, submerged landscapes). The Geological Survey of Italy - ISPRA is the Italian Partner of the Project and coordinates the Work Package " Geological events and probabilities”, which  includes  volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, fluid emissions and Quaternary tectonics.

EMODnet Geology Infoday aims to inform the Italian geologists community on the results achieved by the Project as well as on the harmonization and availability of marine geology data and potential future developments.
