This collection of datasets comprises geological information for Antarctica. They have been compiled by the GeoMAP team led by GNS Science. This work utilsed co-funding from GNS Science's Nationally Significant Databases and Collections Programme (NSDC) and international collaboration through the SCAR GeoMAP project. It represents a synthesis of existing published and unpublished mapping of the geology of this area in a single geodatabase at a regional scale. The data comprises geological unit polygon geometry and attribute fields describing the unit type, name, age, lithology, stratigraphy, and supporting background information, where this is known and geological fault polyline geometry and attribute fields describing locational accuracy, exposure, fault type, and supporting background information, where this is known.

Physiographic maps for the CIS and Baltic States (CIS_BS), Mongolia, China and Taiwan Province of China. Between the three regions (China, Mongolia, and CIS_BS countries) DCW boundaries were introduced. There are no DCW boundaries between Russian Federation and the rest of the new countries of the CIS_BS. The original physiographic map of China includes the Chinese border between India and China, which extends beyond the Indian border line, and the South China Sea islands (no physiographic information is present for islands in the South China Sea). The use of these country boundaries does not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of FAO concerning the legal or constitutional states of any country, territory, or sea area, or concerning delimitation of frontiers. The Maps visualize the items LANDF, HYPSO, SLOPE that correspond to Landform, Hypsometry and Slope.

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 It represents a synthesis of existing published and unpublished mapping of the geology of this area in a single dataset at a regional scale.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 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 It represents a synthesis of existing published and unpublished mapping of the geological faults in this area in a single dataset at a regional scale.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).
