OneGeology eXtra
OneGeology’s mission is to improve the accessibility of geological data. This means improving the understandability and interest in geology as well as just the availability of map data. This part of the website is devoted to illustrating the many ways in which geology and geological maps play a fundamental part in all our lives. These pages are just a start and we will extend and improve them based on the feedback you give us.
Culture |
This is a taste of the way in which geology and rocks have influenced what the people of this planet read, look at, think deeply about and even drink! You probably knew that some of the world’s greatest artists have drawn their inspiration from the geology of our landscape, but did you know that geology has inspired philosophers and poets too and that the wine and beer we drink owe their unique flavours to geology? |

This part of our site will be devoted to schools and children. Soon you will be able to find ways in which schools and their pupils can get involved in OneGeology. We also plan to add links to some of the best geological teaching resources from around the world. |
Showcase |
Here we link to examples of the best uses of digital geological map data on the web worldwide. See here how geological map data can be transformed to help society use our planet’s natural resources more efficiently, how it can be used to predict and mitigate hazards and how understanding geology is critical to our health and our wealth. |
