Geographic Information System of the European Commission (GISCO)

This metadata refers to the whole content of GISCO reference database, which contains both public datasets (also available for the general public through http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata) and datasets to be used only internally by the EEA (typically, but not only, GISCO datasets at 1:100k).

WISE WFD Reference Spatial Datasets reported under Water Framework Directive

The WISE WFD reference spatial datasets contain information on the European river basin districts, the river basin district sub-units, the surface water bodies and the groundwater bodies delineated for the River Basin Management Plans (RBMP) under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) as well as the monitoring sites located in surface water bodies and groundwater bodies. The dataset includes EU Member States, Norway and Iceland.

Percentage of urban schools located in Urban Heat Island Effect stronger than 2 degrees Celsius, Jun. 2022

This metadata refers to the vector data covering 100 cities in Europe in 2021, for which Urban Heat Island modelling is available, the percentage of educational facilities that are located within the extent of urban heat island of 2 degrees Celsius or more than the regional average. The Urban Heat Island intensity exacerbates high temperatures in cities and thus may pose additional risks to human thermal comfort and health. Urban heat island (UHI) is an urban or metropolitan area that is significantly warmer than its surrounding rural areas due to human activities. The temperature difference is usually larger at night than during the day, and is most apparent when winds are weak. UHI is most noticeable during the summer and winter. The main cause of the UHI effect is from the modification of land surfaces. The data is included in the European Climate and Health Observatory: https://climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu/observatory. The European Climate and Health Observatory platform provides easy access to a wide range of relevant publications, tools, websites and other resources related to climate change and human health.

Average travel time to the nearest hospital in minutes – excluding hospitals in potential flood-prone areas, 2020

This metadata refers to the vector dataset presenting, for NUTS3 regions, the average travel time to the nearest hospital in 2020, excluding hospitals located in the EEA potential flood-prone areas (https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/catalogue/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/28c36420-c31b-440e-80c5-8064696f3517). The data has been developed by Eurostat to measure how easily basic services can be reached by the resident population, based on spatial analyses of the location of healthcare facilities, combined with the road network and the location of hospitals in the EEA potential flood-prone areas. Note that the accessibility could have been calculated across a national border. The data is included in the European Climate and Health Observatory: https://climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu/observatory. The European Climate and Health Observatory platform provides easy access to a wide range of relevant publications, tools, websites and other resources related to climate change and human health.

Climatic suitability for the transmission of dengue by Aedes albopictus in Europe (1951-2021), Apr 2023

This metadata refer to the dataset presenting the annual change in the basic reproduction number (R0) for dengue transmission in the period 1951-2021. The basic reproduction number of dengue from Aedes mosquitos is calculated using a model to capture the influence of temperature and rainfall on mosquito vectorial capacity and mosquito abundance, and overlaying it with human population density data to estimate the R0 (i.e., the expected number of secondary infections resulting from one infected person).

EU27_2020 basemap for EEA internal use

This Discomap web map service provides an EU-27 (2020) basemap for internal EEA use as a background layer in viewers or any other web application. It is provided as REST and as OGC WMS services, dynamic and cached. The cached service has a custom cache at the following scales: 1/50.000.000 1/42.000.000 1/36.000.000 (Europe's size) 1/30.000.000 1/20.000.000 1/10.000.000 1/5.000.000 1/2.500.000 1/1.000.000.

Geomorphology, Geology, Erosion trends and Coastal defence works, version 2.1

This metadata describe the "Geology, geomorphology and coastal erosion layer" database which is a result of EUROSION project of May 2004 (IGN France International). The database contains the Morpho-sedimentological and geological patterns of the European coastline. Both a geomorphological and a geological code is assigned to each segment. 20 different geomorphological types (and thus codes) and 13 geological types have been defined. The data also features both erosion trends, and the existence of coastal defence works along the European coast. Three codes have been defined to depict erosion trends (stable, erosion, accretion) and two codes to depict coastal defence works (presence, absence). Spatial data is provided at scale 1:100,000, in vector format, and consists in a segmentation of the EUROSION shoreline. Geographical coverage note: Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, and ultra-peripheral regions are only covered 20%. Also, only EU25 countries with coast are included in the data set.

INSPIRE: The 1:5 Million International Geological Map of Europe and Adjacent Area (IGME5000-EU)

The IGME5000-EU (INSPIRE) represents the pre-quaternary bedrock geology (onshore and offshore) of the European map on a scale of 1:5,000,000. According to the Data Specification on Geology (D2.8.II.4_v3.0) the content of the geological map is stored in two INSPIRE-compliant GML files: IGME5000-EU_GeologicUnit.gml contains the geologic units and IGME5000-EU_GeologicStructure.gml comprises the faults. The GML files together with a Readme.txt file are provided in ZIP format (IGME5000-EU-INSPIRE.zip). The Readme.text file (German/English) contains detailed information on the GML files content. Data transformation was proceeded by using the INSPIRE Solution Pack for FME according to the INSPIRE requirements.

EEA basemap

This Discomap web map service provides an EU-27 (2020) basemap for internal EEA use as a background layer in viewers or any other web application. It is provided as REST and as OGC WMS services, dynamic and cached.

Floods Reference Spatial Datasets reported under Floods Directive

The Floods Directive (FD), implemented in November 2007 addresses the rising threat of catastrophic and frequent floods in Europe due to socioeconomic development and climate change. Its purpose is to establish a framework for assessing and managing flood risks within the European Union, with the goal of reducing adverse impacts on human health, the environment, cultural heritage, and economic activity.
