The map layer shows the thickness of the upper part of the sediment cover, deposited after the end of last ice age, ca 11000 - 12000 years ago.

Thickness of sediments (superficial deposits) above bedrock in the Oslofjord.

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.

Sediment data show mainly the prevalence of soil types covering the bedrock surface. Most of the soils were formed during and after the last ice age. The data shows only the soil that dominates in the upper meters of the terrain surface. Thick and thin layers by other soils may occur further down in the soil profile.

Sediment thickness above bedrock on the Norwegian continental shelf.

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.

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. 1:100 000 - 1:250 000 (regional mapping).

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).

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. 1:1 000 000 (overview map).

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.
