Borgo Grappa Geological Sheet

Update: 23/03/2007

Geological sheet no. 413 "Borgo Grappa-Isole Pontine" at the scale 1:50.000

This project involves the realization of a composite geological sheet composed of sea, island and dry land areas.  The National Geological Survey (that later became the ISPRA) is producing it. The work has been shared out in the following way: the marine part of the sheet and the Pontine island areas were mapped according to agreements respectively with “La Sapienza” University of Rome and “Roma Tre” University while part of the dry land was mapped directly by the Geological Survey, which also coordinates the whole project. The final aim is to print the geological map on a scale of 1:50,000, including additional information (such as diagrams, cross sections, explanatory notes, etc.). Data and sample forms will also be collected for the database of the national map project (scale 1:25,000).  Emerged areas were mapped on a scale of 1:10,000 on the basis of the Regional Technical Map, while the sea map is the result of a detailed mapping on a scale of 1:25,000. All information was digitalized and is currently being prepared for print.
