Abstract
The geology portal provides free access to (i) geological data and metadata held by various geoscience organisations in Europe, delivered in accordance with international standards, and (ii) geological data products compiled at scales of 1:1,000,000, 1:250,000 and 1:100,000 or finer where the underlying data permit.
EMODnet Geology portal provides a range of services and functionalities to users for viewing and downloading geology data and products. Currently, the following key services are provided:
(1) Data Discovery and Access Service: provides functionality to access data, produced by the EMODnet Geology project and made available via WMS (Web Map Service) and WFS (Web Feature Service) with an associated metadata record.
(2) Composite Products Discovery and Access Service: provides functionality to search the catalogue for maps and other geographic data according to specific search criteria.
(3) Viewing and Download Service: provides functionality to search and download records according to specific search criteria. Each result links to a full metadata record.
Data available: Seabed substrate, Sediment accumulation rate, Sea-floor geology, Seabed lithology, Stratigraphy, Coastline migration, Aggregate resources, Geological events, Submerged landscapes.

Technical notes
The EMODnet Geology portal provides access to information and services produced by the EMODnet Geology project and is powered by GeoNetwork (http://geonetwork-opensource.org/) open-source software. This is a catalogue application to manage spatially referenced resources based on the principles of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and International and Open Standards for services and protocols (a.o. from ISO/TC211 and OGC). Data within the portal are made online available via GeoServer (http://geoserver.org) as WFS (Web Feature Service) and WMS (Web Map Service). These services are powered by EGDI (European Geological Data Infrastructure).
