GE_3DMod_PoBasin — Dataset

The geological 3D model of the Po Basin includes the geometry of four stratigraphic horizons (top or unconformity) bounding lithological homogeneous successions of sedimentary units, in the Triassic — Pleistocene time interval, and 179 fault geometries. Each stratigraphic horizon is supplemented by its isobaths. Where possible, the thickness of the succession above or below, respectively for basal Unconformity and top, is provided with the depth of the surface. The lithology, event process and age of each sedimentary succession are also provided. Each fault, with its upper tip line, is supplemented with the kinematic, mean values for strike, dip azimuth and dip derived from the 3D surface geometry, and the age of the oldest and youngest faulted or deformed stratigraphic horizon, if obtainable from the 3D geological model. This dataset and the related data model were obtained in the framework of the GO-PEG (https://www.go-peg.eu/) project, co-funded by the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) of the European Commission. More specifically, this dataset is the output of the go-depth use case aiming to provide a methodology and a model to conceptualise, organise and deliver easy-to-use, high-quality, interoperable subsurface information for sustainable planning and use of natural resources. To this aim the data coming from European funded projects GeoMol (Alpine Space Programme 2012-2015) and GeoERA HotLime (Horizon 2020, 2018-2021) has been used. In view of data interoperability, the data model has been developed as an extension of the INSPIRE Geology data model. The dataset is served through APIs conforming to the OGC API — Feature standard and is downloadable also in GeoPackage format, in this anticipating the application of the principles established by the Open Data Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/1024) regarding the sharing of the High Value Datasets. The 3D geological model of the Po Valley includes the geometry of four boundary horizons (roof or discordance) of successions of homogeneous litologicamnete sedimentary units, in the Triassic — Pleistocene range, and 179 fault geometries. Each stratigraphic horizon is also described through isobate. Where possible, in addition to the absolute share value, the value of the thickness of the succession above or below is also provided, respectively if it is discordance or roof. The lithology, geological process and age of each sedimentary succession are also described. Each fault, with its upper edge, is accompanied by kinematics, the average deposit values derived from 3D geometry, and the age of the oldest and youngest faulty/deformed stratigraphic unit, if derived from the 3D geological model.This dataset and the related data model were obtained under the GO-PEG project (https://www.go-peg.eu/), co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) of the European Commission. More specifically, this dataset is the output of the go-depth use case, which aims to provide a methodology and model that can conceptualise, organise and provide easy-to-use, high-quality and interoperable subsoil information for sustainable planning and use of natural resources. For this purpose, data from the European projects GeoMol (Alpine Space Programme 2012-2015) and GeoERA HotLime (Horizon 2020, 2018-2021) were used. In order to promote data interoperability, the data model was developed as an extension of the INSPIRE Geology data model. The dataset is served via API compliant with the OGC API — Feature standard and can also be downloaded in GeoPackage format, anticipating in this the application of the principles established by the Open Data Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/1024) regarding the sharing of the High Value Data Set.
