GEOLOGICAL MAP OF THE WORLD NEW EDITION AT THE SCALEs OF 1: 50 and 1: 25 MILLION

Based on an entirely renewed concept, this new edition of the Geological Map of the World integrates the state of the art of the geological knowledge of our planet at the turning-point of the XX/XXI centuries.

For the first time, the map consists of two sheets and explanatory notes:

For the map at the scale of 1: 50 000 000 (2009):
Sheet 1: Physiography, volcanoes, astroblemes (centered on the Pacific)
Sheet 2: Geology, structure (centered on the Atlantic)

For the map at the scale of 1: 25 000 000 (2010):
One single map: Geology, structure (free choice for centering the 3 sheets)

The map intends to give a better global overview of the mega-structures and the most important geological assemblages resulting from the complex history of our planet throughout 4 billion years.
Author: Philippe Bouysse (CGMW)
3rd edition (2009 and 2010)
Scales: 1: 50 000 000 (118 x 54 cm)
1: 25 000 000 (242 x 108,8 cm)

Evolution of Crustal Blocks and Orogenic Belts through Time

This map is the result from a synthesis of the tectonic events
throughout Asia and part of eastern Europe. it differs from, geologic,
tectonic, and terranes maps, by emphasising on the continuity of the
large belts of Eurasia, instead of lithologies or stratigraphy. The
units represented are not tectono-stratigraphic terranes but stable
block vs. deformed belts and accretionary wedge. Its
objective is to trigger discussions in structural geology and
geodynamics, and to serve as a basis for lectures or illustrate
presentations.

STRUCTURAL MAP OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN

This Map of the North Atlantic Ocean synthesizes the interpretation of geological and geophysical data compiled from many oceanographic cruises undertaken over several decades. A physiographic inset includes the bathymetry, multi-beam imagery and continental relief plus, recent or currently active volcanoes and meteoritic impact craters.
This map will be of interest to research scientists, programme managers, students and wider outreach programmes.

geologic time scale 2008

This 3rd edition of the Geologic Time Scale 2008 was published for the 33rd IGC held in Oslo (August 2008). It was significantly updated and enhanced as regards the 2nd edition (32 IGC, Florence 2004). Two tables of color codes (CMYK and RGB standards) are included in the back for each chronostratigraphic unit, according to the specifications of the CGMW.
The Geologic Time Scale 2008 is the document that every geoscience professional requires and also a useful teaching tool in high schools and universities.

INTERNATIONAL STRATIGRAPHIC CHART

Mouse pad
"International Stratigraphic Chart"

Dimensions: 23,5 x 19,5 cm

In view of the success of the first edition (2005) of the mousepad, a new updated and improved version was released in May 2008. The main changes in the International Stratigraphic Chart are 7 new GSSP and 8 recently validated names of Stages, concerning mainly the Palezoic.
With a handly format and thickness, the mousepad has proved to be very useful in the daily activites of all those who are familiar with Earth sciences.

GEOLOGICAL MAP OF THE PYRENEES

The first geological map covering the entirety of the Pyrenean system, this work is the result of the close cooperation between the French (BRGM) and Spanish (IGME) geological surveys. The map is enhanced with the shading of the topography generated from a digital elevation model (DEM), and a simplified road network.
Scale : 1:400 000
Bilinguel French/Spanish
Surface : 151 x 91,5 cm
Map available flat or folded

MEBE ATLAS OF PALAEOTECTONIC MAPS OF THE MIDDLE EAST

The Atlas of 14 palaeotectonic maps of the Middle East proposes a model of regional tectonic evolution since Late Triassic. This regional synthesis is the final product of the Middle East Basins Evolution Programme (MEBE) sponsored between 2003 and 2007 by oil companies and research organizations. The maps synthetize tectonic, stratigraphic, geodynamic and kinematic data resulting from the MEBE programme and literature.
