Description
The geological map of the Autonomous Province of Trento constitutes a very important basic tool for knowledge of the Trentino territory: it provides preparatory information for the analysis of geological hazards, the planning and management of the soil and subsoil, and the design of works and infrastructures.
The union of the geological surveys carried out for the realisation of different projects since the early 1990s and in the following twenty years of surveys and updates, has led to the elaboration today of a basic geological map at a scale of 1:10,000 and a single legend for the entire Trentino territory. The geological surveys of the CARG-PAT project for the western sector of Trentino contribute to this mapping, while the eastern sector is covered by the surveys carried out in the period 2006-2010 for the Carta della Pericolosità project.
In the southern sector of our territory, on the other hand, the surveys are the result of the elaboration of a database created from the Guidelines of the CARG Project and integrated with the information for the realisation of the Synthesis Hazard Map, the latter currently in the preliminary adoption phase.
CONSULTATION
It is possible to consult online the representation of the important geological heritage of our province by means of a WebGis application, which makes it possible to view and query the individual layers that make up the Geological Database. From the WebGis it is possible to download the data in various formats (TIFF, high-resolution TIFF, PDF, PDF with Legend and Shapefile), according to sections at a scale of 1: 10,000. In September 2022, the database was updated with regard to the PEG (Little Ice Age) theme.
A WMS service for GIS is also available at the following address (active display from scale 1:50,000): https://geoservices.provincia.tn.it/agol/services/geologico/BDG00_ALL/MapServer/WMSServer?
WARNING: the Geological Map Database is a continuously updated product; it provides a guideline document of the geology of the Trentino territory, which can be periodically updated and integrated by the Geological Survey through the inclusion of new data and information that external users can also provide by sending an email to the following address : geo.wm@provincia.tn.it
