Collective title

ATA SCAR GeoMAP Geology (v.2022-08)

Purpose

This database spatially represents geological information for Antarctica. It classifies and describes the bedrock and surficial geology of exposed rock and sediments in Antarctica. The dataset captures and harmonises both legacy and modern geoological science. An important focus are glacial deposits which contain records of the waxing and waning of ice of relevance for understanding Antarctica's role in global climate.
