The map application 'National area information' is developed by NGU (Geological Survey of Norway) to show the diversity of tematic area information that is available as map services on the web. The application include all the WMS services from NGU that is accessible through Norway digital (the national geographical infrastructure). It also include selected WMS services from public agencies/departments which offers thematic data that is interesting to show in relation to geological information.

The map application shows geological themes NGU have available and which are of interest within the planning process when it comes to the field of Landscape, Resources and Safety.

Slide scarp, digitized on the basis of detailed bathymetry.

Map layer shows surface sediments (superficial deposits) on the seabed in mapped areas along the Norwegian coast. Superficial deposit as a property describes the mode of formation (genesis). The maps are digitized with a view to presentation at a scale of ca. 1:20 000 - 1:150 000 (detailed mapping). Seabed sediments classified by genesis (quaternary geology).

Data set shows the distribution of seabed sediments classified by genesis (Quaternary sediments). The data cover parts of the Norwegian continental shelf in Barents Sea, Norwegian Sea, North Sea and Skagerrak.

This data set contains the seabed sediments on the upper part of the bottom of the sea (upper 0-50 cm of the seabed), classified after genesis. The data set covers coastal areas in mapped areas in detailed scale. Detailing level vary between data from different mapping projects.

This data set contains the distribution of seabed sediments classified after genesis in mapped areas on the Norwegian shelf. The superficial deposit surface type describes the superficial deposits genesis. The data is based on the contents of the Quaternary map which are analogous (scale 1: 250,000 to 1: 500,000), or based on digital data from modern surveying.

The data set shows different landforms on the seabed on the Norwegian continental shelf and in the fjords. Examples of seabed landforms are channels, canyons, sediment waves, areas with sediment waves, glacial lineations, iceberg plough marks, moraines, slide escarpments, slide scars, slide areas, areas with slide deposits, submarine fans and areas with pockmarks.
