With GeoSphere Maps – the interactive platform for geoscientific content – information from the fields of geology, natural hazards, geophysics, hydrogeology, raw material geology and glaciology can be explored interactively.

The platform is aimed at geological services, universities, educational institutions, engineering offices and the interested public.

Content can also be integrated into other applications as web services.
