eEarth and GEOMIND

The CBDG team is one of the partners that originated the European projects called eEarth and GEOMIND. Created in international collaboration, the Internet multilingual applications offer access to data on boreholes and geophysical surveys.

The eEarth system enables the users to browse borehole data collected by six European geological surveys: British, Dutch, German, Polish, Czech and Lithuanian. Additionally, the multilingual website with the GIS functionality provides borehole data in seven languages: English, Dutch, German, Polish, Czech, Lithuanian and Italian.

Closely cooperating with other PGI departments, the CBDG team actively participated in the international project called GEOMIND, prepared by a consortium of 12 partner institutions from 9 European countries. As a result, a multilingual Internet portal was established to integrate geophysical data obtained from resources of the countries involved in the initiative.

Moreover, international standards of representing both metadata and detailed data were set, which promotes further integration and popularization of European and global geoinformation.
