Geological map of the Emilia-Romagna Apennines 1:10.000 - Paper edition

With the creation of the geological map on a scale of 1:10,000, the Region intended to equip itself with a detailed cognitive tool, such as to represent the reference base for targeted analyzes and insights into specific areas and themes. It constitutes the indispensable premise of any planning and intervention design, both public and private; it is the basis for the preparation of urban plans, for an effective soil protection policy, for the planning of extractive activities, for the planning of the use and of surface and deep water resources, for the protection of groundwater from pollution, for civil protection, etc. Each sheet is accompanied by: a detailed legend, a list of conventional signs, one or more geological sections and often by diagrams of various kinds (tectonic, stratigraphic, etc.). The methodological and scientific coordination of the entire project was carried out by the Regional Geological Office, by professors from 7 university institutes (Departments or Institutes of Geology of Bologna, Modena, Parma, Pavia, Pisa, Florence and Padua) and by researchers from the CNR of Pisa. The field survey and the cartographic drafting were mainly carried out by young professional geologists.
