Geothermal 3D model of the Fossa del Camp, developed as part of the Deep Geothermal energy project (GeoEnergia-GP) by the ICGC. More specifically, this model contains the lithological units, the main geological structures, the geothermal model with the 3D temperature and geothermal potential distribution of several mesozoic aquifers in the Fossa del Camp, the location of the exploration drilling Reus-1 and the topographic surface of the scope of the project.

: Information regarding an avalanche observed in the past. Mapped based on a survey of inhabitants of the area where the phenomenon took place. The boundaries shown are based on the explanations given by the witnesses consulted. Information is usually taken from Avalanche Zones close to inhabited areas where avalanches have historically interfered with human activity. For this reason the majority of the information is found around these zones. They are shown in purple. Cartography often maps only the avalanche arrival zone, as the descriptions usually refer to their extent and the damage caused.

The GeoBase of soils of Catalonia v1.0 is a database intended to store information on soils caught in the field and that necessary for generate soil maps of the territory of Catalonia at different scales, such as the Soil Map 1: 25,000 of Catalonia (MSC25M), or other maps that have been previously prepared (eg at scales 1: 25,000 and 1: 250,000). Contains information on soil profiles with varying levels of detail captured in the field (observations and pits), the composition on horizons, some of its physical and chemical characteristics as well as different types of soils that appear in an area, its spatial distribution.

Information regarding an avalanche observed recently. Mapped based on direct observation of the event or observation following it. The information is obtained based on the nivometeorological observation network, rescue groups, countryside wardens, mountain guides, and ski and mountain resort personnel. In the event of important episodes and accidents the IGC technicians also gather information. The elements mapped mainly include the extent to which avalanches affect populated areas, roads, ski resorts and people who carry out mountain activities. Data began to be gathered in 1986. It is shown in blue.

Information about snow avalanches of Catalonia. This data set is conforming to the technical specifications of INSPIRE Natural risk zones.
-
Synthesis of the geological constitution of Catalonia through the cartographic representation of lithostratigraphic geological units, major structural elements (unconformities, faults and folds) and types of contact between units. The situation of the soundings carried out for the exploration of hydrocarbons is also included.
-
The Soil Map of Catalonia 1: 250 000 is the result of the synthesis of the edaphological data available at the time of its preparation, in 2018. This process, carried out by the Cartographic and Geological Institute of Catalonia, has consisted of in the compilation, analysis and correlation of the cartographic information obtained in the different soil mapping works that have been executed in Catalonia since the 70's of the last century.

Soil of Catalonia. This data set is conforming to the technical specifications of INSPIRE Soil.
-
3D model of geological surfaces that contains the main stratigraphic surfaces and geological structures of Catalonia, the location of the main exploration drillings and the topographic and bathymetric surface of the model area.

Information regarding an area exposed to an avalanche. Mapped based on analysis of the terrain and of signs that avalanches leave in their path, mainly, in forests. In Avalanche Zones, avalanches occur frequently and are of different sizes. Avalanche Zones have been systematically mapped throughout the region. They are shown in orange. There are two types of Avalanche Zones: zones where avalanches usually follow the same path, shown in orange, and zones where avalanches usually follow different paths, shown in pale orange.
