🗾Complete Revision of the Web-Based Geological Map of Japan

Points

  1. The old 1:200,000 Seamless Geological Map of Japan has been reviewed for all regions of Japan and recompiled based on the latest knowledge.
  2. The number of new legends which reflect research developments over the past quarter-century has been increased from the previous number of 386 to more than 2400.
  3. Because the legend has been structured hierarchically, it is possible to display the map flexibly depending on purposes or uses
