the Oceans (IHO – IOC) and EMODnet Bathymetry DTM – example in Tyrrhenian Sea near
Sicily – Italy and South Italy – resolution EMODnet is 16 times higher

Cooperation and synergy with GEBCO: EMODnet uses GEBCO to cover
gaps.
GEBCO uses EMODnet to improve its DTM

EMODnet Bathymetry WMS service has > 50.000
IP addresses of users in the last year:
Example of usage: SOCIB (Baleares – Spain) use WMS as baselayer for
display where marine observation instruments are deployed
1. EMODnet Bathymetry
• Challenges now and near future:
– increasing survey coverage with extra input
from science, authorities and industry
– improving quality of DTM
– expanding partnership and increasing
resolution
– going to the ‘cloud’ because of ‘big data’
2. EMODnet Geology
The Geology portal provides access to information primarily held by national
geological surveys of 30 European countries:
– harmonised sea-bed substrate and bedrock geology at 1:250,000 scale where
available; 1:1 million scale in other areas
– Information on coastal behaviour (migration; erosion; accretion;
resilience/vulnerability);
– Locations of earthquake activity, volcanoes, submarine landslides. Links to
updated sources of information using WMS;
– Mineral localities; oil and gas fields; aggregate resources.
Seabed substrate
Coastal behaviour
2. EMODnet Geology
Geological Surveys establish standards for geological mapping at national scale.
Digital geological maps and related databases, INSPIRE compliant, have been
constructed at various scales within EMODnet Geology
Detailed where possible (1:250,000)
Broadscale in other areas (1:1 million)

Benefits
– Central access to geological information from 30 countries;
– Building on open-source plaform
– Providing best available and harmonized data
– Providing access to national geological survey information and data catalogues
Challenges
– Accessing third party data held by industry, research community etc.
– Building on most detailed information available at national level
2. EMODnet Geology
Main deliverables at 1:250,000 scale

Sea-bed substrate including rate of accumulation of recent sediments

Sea-floor geology (bedrock geology) and all boundaries and faults that can
be represented at the 1:250,000 compilation scale with information on the
lithology and age of each geological unit

Coastal type and behaviour supplemented by information on coastal erosion
or sedimentation and the rate at which it occurs.

Geological events and probabilities (landslides, volcanic activity, earthquake
epicentres, tectonics and tsunamis)

Minerals (including aggregates, oil and gas)
2. EMODnet Geology
http://www.emodnet.eu/bathymetry
The Mediterranean Sea shows a high degree of geological diversity which is the
result of its geological evolution over the last few million years and still ongoing.
Consequently it is articulated in many different depositional environments (more or
less extended continental shelves, more or less steep slopes, basins, seamounts).
2. EMODnet Geology
Geological events
The geological setting was originated by
geological events such as volcanism, mass
movements, tectonics and earthquakes.
Information concerning events are
collected in a work package lead by the
Geological Survey of Italy - ISPRA. These
events affect underwater environments,
human settlements in coastal areas as well
as the use of marine resources and should
be taken into account in planning any
marine related activity.
EMODnet Geology is intended to interact
with planners and decision-makers to
evaluate what is available for marine
spatial planning.
2. EMODnet Geology
Joint Adriatic Domain Research Activity in Geology (JADRA Geology)
Cooperation among countries facing the Adriatic Sea (Italy, Slovenia, Croatia,
Montenegro, Albania, Greece and possibly Bosnia-Herzegovina) was started within
EMODnet Geology. A working group was created aimed at the best harmonization
of data.
Partners agreed to formally establish cooperation by signing a Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU).
Italian contribution to EMODnet Geology 2
An agreement was signed with a few Italian Institutions (MISE, CNR-ISMAR, OGS,
ENEA, Università RomaTRE, Università di Palermo) to establish formal cooperation
addressed at the delivery of products for EMODnet - Geology 2.

Take-home messages on the EMODnet seabed habitat map
•
•
•
It represents a univocal pan-European broad-scale map of benthic habitats modelled,
based on common methodology. No other harmonised spatial tool describing benthic
habitats exists!
Habitat descriptions are conveyed through “a common language”: habitats are
identified using a common European-scale benthic habitat classification /nomenclature
system (EUNIS)
It identifies areas / habitats for which further field surveys are required to improve
knowledge on the presence and characteristics of presently understudied habitats /
assemblages
Suggestions for further work to improve specific aspects of the present
delivery

– Create fit for purpose data products through real
dialogue with stakeholders (e.g. MSFD)
• Recommendations for future development
– Data products: from species to community characteristics
– Including new biological observations, new datatypes
from novel biodiversity sensors (e.a. near real time
sensors: bio-optical sensors, GPS and acoustic tags…)
• Key Challenges:
– Open access policy

6. EMODnet Physics
• recommendations for future development of the thematic portal
in the next phase
– new providers and new/more data (e.g. underwater noise, ship
opportunity, mammals… )
– a continuous data flow from Near Real Time to validation
– improving interoperability layers (e.g. extend THREDDS and OGC
catalogues) and services (dashboard, tracking and reporting tools)
– wider audience (e.g. new data plots, single parameters download …)
– more basic products (e.g. annual seasonal averages…)
– ready to ingest and store data from past projects, organizations outside
main networks
– Real Time data and big data visualization
– easier direct interaction between providers and users
7. EMODnet Human Activities
Born in late 2013, Human Activities is the ‘youngest
member of the EMODnet family’
It aims to become the main entry point for spatial data on
marine and maritime activities in the EU
We don’t collect new data!
We collate existing information, harmonise it and make it
available under interoperable formats

7. EMODnet Human Activities
Key challenges
• Lots of people advocate data sharing, not that many actually share it
• Harmonising data from different sources is a time consuming activity
• Poor coverage of some countries / data themes
Recommendations for the next phase
• Improve current coverage
• Oceans have no boundaries: extend data collection to non-EU
neighbouring countries
• Include Maritime Spatial Plans
• Liaise with INSPIRE
