The EMODnet Geology aims to collect and harmonize existing marine geology data. Geology portal consolidates the existing data products to make them accessible to users. These data include sea-floor geology, seabed substrates, rates of coastline migration, geological events and probabilities, mineral resources and submerged landscapes. Users can investigate and search for borehole and grab sample data, seismic survey data, and multibeam survey data using interactive maps and tools. The data is available for all European seas, as well as for the Caribbean and the Caspian Sea. More details about the project are available athttps://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/geology
