This guide defines geology data as the mapping of the physical structure and substance of the earth.
Please apply the search strategies outlined in Introduction to Finding GIS Data with the keywords below to help orchestrate a search to find datasets related to geology.
Keywords: topographic, terrain, elevation, altitude, bathymetry
This database hosts "geochemical, petrological, and related data" in relation to the "earth, ocean, and environmental sciences." A list of team members can be found here. Collaborators of the project are located here.
Home to a wide variety of datasets that can be placed on their virtual map or exported, including aerial photography, radiometer, satellite coverage, digital elevation, digital line graphs, heat mapping, Landsat imagery, and radar among others. This information is provided by the U.S. Geology Survey.
Datasets primarily focused on hydrography and bathymetry, assembled by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC)
The MRLC pulls land coverage and ecosystem data from a wide variety of U.S. agencies, listed here.
Archive of the National maps, stratigraphy, topography, and geochronology. Information is primarily provided by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Association of American State Geologists (AASG).
Geospatial data in this database comes from a variety of international sources from the GeoNetwork OpenSource and the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. Members that contribute can be found here. Supporters of the project are listed here.
Hosts high-resolution topographic data, funded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Science (NSF-EAR) as part of the Geoscience Network (GEON) project.
