Map showing Trigger areas - areas where a rockfall may occur, and Runout areas - areas that are affected by a rockfall when a rocfall occurs. The maps have been compiled using a computer model that recognizes the possible source areas/trigger areas in which a rockfall could occur. The criteria used for recognition are the slope of the mountain side and relevant geological information. For each source area/trigger area the runout area of the potential rockfall is calculated automatically using a DEM in comb...
NGU Geohazards - Rockfall susceptibility in Norway, online. The Rockfall susceptibility dataset shows the potential source areas/trigger areas and runout areas of potential rockfalls. Trigger area - area where the rockfall may occur. Runout area - area which is affected by a rockfall when a rockfall occurs.
Superficial deposits in Norway in various mapscales - best of.The Superficial Deposits of Norway (best of) is a database giving full coverage of the superficial deposits throughout Norway. High resolution data at scales of 1:20 000 to 1:50 000 exists for only about 30% of the country, mostly in areas where superficial deposits are of significant economic importance. The deposits are classified according to their genesis and thickness.

The deposits are classified according to their genesis and thickness. For most of the data collated at a scale greater than 1:250 000 derived information such as groundwater potential and infiltration ...
Iso-content maps of Nickel (Ni), one of the chemical elements.obtained in the Geochemical Atlas of Spain Project, distributed in stream sediments (14,864 samples), superficial soils (0-20 cm.) (13,505 samples) and deeper soils (20-40 cm.) (7,682 samples). The results of the chemical analysis are shown in two types: total dissolution of the sample with 4 acids and partial dissolution with aqua regia. With the analytical results of all the sampled points, an isocontent map is made with adjustment to a square...

The results of the chemical analysis are shown in two types: total dissolution of the sample with 4 acids and partial dissolution with aqua regia. With the analytical results of all the sampled points, an isocontent map is made with adjustment to a squar...
Overview map showing the approximate extent of the key Niobium metallogenic areas in Europe.
During the interpretation of the geological structure of the Sellafield site, a series of 3-D models were created using EarthVision and Vulcan software. These models have been imported into the computer systems operated by British Geological Survey. Geological investigations of the Sellafield and Dounreay areas were undertaken between 1989 and 1997 as part of its programme to determine whether one of the areas might be a suitable location of a deep repository for the disposal of radioactive waste. The Nire...
The paper archives comprise a set of the factual and interpretative reports that document the investigations carried out by Nirex (Nuclear Industry Radioactive Waste Executive) and its contractors. In total there are in excess of 2,250 individual volumes. It is the availability of this paper archive of results and interpretation that makes the Nirex geological archives of rock cores and samples unique. The ownership of NIREX (Nuclear Industry Radioactive Waste Executive) was transferred from the nuclear in...
