Floods Reference Spatial Datasets reported under Floods Directive - version 3.0, Mar. 2025

The Floods Directive (FD) was adopted in 2007 (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:32007L0060). The purpose of the FD is to establish a framework for the assessment and management of flood risks, aiming at the reduction of the adverse consequences for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity associated with floods in the European Union. ‘Flood’ means the temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water. This shall include floods from rivers, mountain torrents, Mediterranean ephemeral water courses, and floods from the sea in coastal areas, and may exclude floods from sewerage systems. This reference spatial dataset, reported under the Floods Directive, includes the areas of potential significant flood risk (APSFR), as they were lastly reported by the Member States to the European Commission, and the Units of Management (UoM).

Internationale Geologische Karte von Europa und den Mittelmeerregionen 1:1.500.000 - Blatt C3 Oslo

"Carte Géologique Internationale de l'Europe et des Régions Méditerranéennes 1 : 1 500 000" - Anlässlich des 2. Internationalen Geologen-Kongresses in Bologna 1881 wurde von der neu gegründeten "Kommission für die geologische Karte von Europa" der Beschluss zur Herausgabe einer Internationalen Geologischen Karte von Europa im Maßstab 1 : 1 500 000 (IGK 1500) gefasst. In den Händen der Kommission lag die Kompilierung und Herausgabe des Kartenwerkes; Redaktion und Druck oblag der Preußischen Geologischen Landesanstalt und ihrer Nachfolger, sprich dem Reichsamt für Bodenforschung und der Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe. 1913 - 32 Jahre nach dem Beschluss zur Erstellung des Kartenwerks - wurde die 1. Auflage mit 49 Blättern fertig gestellt. Für eine 2. Auflage entschied man sich bereits 1910. Doch bedingt durch die beiden Weltkriege wurden zwischen 1933 und 1959 nur 12 Blätter gedruckt. 1960 fiel der Vorschlag für eine kombinierte 2. und 3. Auflage der Karte. Im Zuge dieser Neukonzeption erschien 1962 eine neue Legende, 1970 deren Erweiterung. 1964 wurden die ersten Blätter der Neuauflage gedruckt. Ende 1999 lagen alle 45 Kartenblätter der Neuauflage vor, wobei das letzte Blatt "AMMAN" bereits digital mit Freehand 8 erstellt ist. Titelblatt und Generallegende, die auf zwei Blättern des Kartenwerks platziert sind, wurden im Frühjahr 2000 - 87 Jahre nach Abschluss der 1. Auflage - gedruckt. Das vollständige Gesamtwerk der Internationalen Geologischen Karte von Europa im Maßstab 1 : 1 500 000 (IGK 1500) wurde auf dem Internationalen Geologen-Kongress in Rio de Janeiro im August 2000 vorgestellt. Die IGK 1500 zeigt auf 55 Blättern die Geologie des europäischen Kontinents vom Osten des Uralgebirges bis Island sowie der gesamten Mittelmeerregion. Die Geologie wird unterschieden nach Stratigraphie, magmatischen und metamorphen Gesteinen. Zusätzlich gibt es zwei Legendenblätter und ein Titelblatt. Die Sprache des Kartenwerks ist Französisch.

Concentrations of heavy metals in European agricultural soils, Oct. 2020

This data set contains current and critical metal concentrations and its exceedances in topsoils, as well as data related to the current and critical metal inputs to and outputs from soils (uptake, accumulation and leaching) and the resulting exceedances of critical metal inputs. This data set has been compiled by the European Topic Centre on Urban, Land and Soil Systems (ETC/ULS) in the context of a study on metal and nutrient dynamics where the fate and dynamics of the most abundant heavy metals and nutrients in agricultural soils were investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacts of agricultural intensification in Europe, and to understand its environmental impact. Metal concentrations in soils were used from two consecutive Europe-wide geochemical surveys, sampled in 1998 (FOREGS survey) and 2009 (GEMAS survey). For land use, the 2010 Eurostat data were used. The metals included in this data set are cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn). The results on the fate of Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) are included in a separate dataset. Cu and Zn are minor nutrients but at high inputs, they may cause adverse impacts on soil biodiversity, whereas Cd and Pb are toxic metals that may lead to soil degradation, by both affecting soil biodiversity and food quality. Metal budgets based on spatially explicit input and output data were calculated using the INTEGRATOR model; approximately 40,000 so-called NCUs as unique combinations of soil type, administrative region, slope class and altitude class were used. Available critical limits for food, water and soil organisms, from different existing regulations and studies, were converted to soil property-dependent critical metal concentrations (soil-based quality standards), which were then used to calculate critical metal inputs. The results allow for the first time to identifying spatial hot spots for critical environmental impact of soil pollution for the four most abundant heavy metals. It thus informs policy processes important for planning and guiding sustainable agriculture and soil management. The work is methodologically novel, as it applies endpoint risk to thresholds in soils, and thus guides future impact studies. Updates with more recent land use and soil data are now possible. The description of the included model results and the reference report is provided under "lineage". The data set is provided as SHP and also in a GDB, the latter including as well the N and P concentrations. An Excel file "Metadata heavy metals nutrients.xlsx" with the attribute metadata is provided with the data set.

Schwerpunktprogramm (SPP) 1488: Planetary Magnetism (PlanetMag), Evolution of geomagnetic dipole moment and South Atlantic Anomaly

The geomagnetic field shields our habitat against solar wind and radiation from space. Due to the geometry of the field, the shielding in general is weakest at high latitudes. It is also anomalously weak in a region around the south Atlantic known as South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), and the global dipole moment has been decreasing by nearly 10 percent since direct measurements of field intensity became possible in 1832. Due to our limited understanding of the geodynamo processes in Earths core, it is impossible to reliably predict the future evolution of both dipole moment and SAA over the coming decades. However, lack of magnetic field shielding as would be a consequence of further weakening of dipole moment and SAA region field intensity would cause increasing problems for modern technology, in particular satellites, which are vulnerable to radiation damage. A better understanding of the underlying processes is required to estimate the future development of magnetic field characteristics. The study of the past evolution of such characteristics based on historical, archeo- and paleomagnetic data, on time-scales of centuries to millennia, is essential to detect any recurrences and periodicities and provide new insights in dynamo processes in comparison to or in combination with numerical dynamo simulations. We propose to develop two new global spherical harmonic geomagnetic field models, spanning 1 and 10 kyrs, respectively, and designed in particular to study how long the uninterrupted decay of the dipole moment has been going on prior to 1832, and if the SAA is a recurring structure of the field.We will combine for the first time all available historical and archeomagnetic data, both directions and intensities, in a spherical harmonic model spanning the past 1000 years. Existing modelling methods will be adapted accordingly, and existing data bases will be complemented with newly published data. We will further acquire some new archeomagnetic data from the Cape Verde islands from historical times to better constrain the early evolution of the present-day SAA. In order to study the long-term field evolution and possible recurrences of similar weak field structures in this region, we will produce new paleomagnetic records from available marine sediment cores off the coasts of West Africa, Brazil and Chile. This region is weakly constrained in previous millennial scale models. Apart from our main aim to gain better insights into the previous evolution of dipole moment and SAA, the models will be used to study relations between dipole and non-dipole field contributions, hemispheric symmetries and large-scale flux patterns at the core-mantle boundary. These observational findings will provide new insights into geodynamo processes when compared with numerical dynamo simulation results.Moreover, the models can be used to estimate past geomagnetic shielding above Earths surface against solar wind and for nuclide production from galactic cosmic rays.
