The EMODnet data infrastructure is being developed through a stepwise approach in three major phases. Currently EMODnet is in the 3rd phase of development. EMODnet Geology was initiated in EMODnet Phase I (2009-2013) through the ur-EMODnet-Geology project. During the current Phase II (2013-2016), EMODnet Geology extended the work carried out during the preparatory Phase 1 to move, together with the six other EMODnet sub-portals, towards an operational service with full coverage of all European sea-basins, a wider selection of parameters and medium resolution data products.
Now in its third phase, EMODnet Geology Portal consolidates the existing data products with higher resolution and more contents. New services are being built, so users can investigate and search for borehole data, seismic survey data, and multibeam survey data using interactive maps and tools.
