This layer comprises geological unit data for Antarctica. It represents a synthesis of existing published and unpublished mapping of the geology of this area in a single dataset at a regional scale. These data comprise polygon geometry with each polygon having attributes describing the unit type, name, age, lithology, stratigraphy, and supporting background information, where this is known. This layer complies with the GeoSciML Lite standard for GeologicalUnitView and fields required by that standard were populated using the CGI Controlled Vocabulary (v2016.01).

This layer is a geological map bibliography for Antarctica. It was produced by GNS Science in conjunction with partners in the SCAR GeoMAP project. It represents the sources referred to in the classification of geological map polygons. This layer depicts a selection of key maps, as polygon outlines with data providing links to original bibliographic source, that have been useful to the GeoMAP team (as at June 2019). It shows the majority of, but not necessarily all, geological maps available for Antarctica. The dataset comprises polygons with each having attributes describing the source's authors, title, publication, year, program and scale of publication. The data structure complies with the GeoSciML 4.1 standard where relevant and uses the relevant CGI Controlled Vocabularies.

This layer is the fault data for Antarctica. It represents a synthesis of existing published and unpublished mapping of the geological faults in this area in a single dataset at a regional scale. These data comprise a series of arcs with each arc having attributes describing the locational accuracy, exposure, activity, type of fault, and the sense of movement of the fault, where this is known. This layer complies with the GeoSciML Lite standard for ShearDisplacementStructureView and fields required by that standard were populated using the CGI Controlled Vocabulary (v2016.01).
