IQUAME: Review of the 1st edition of the
International Quaternary Map of Europe
„in a nutshell“
• 2011: Start at INQUA congress, Bern
• Umbrella: CGMW and INQUA
• Coordination: BGR, Germany
• Based partly on the first edition from 1967 - 2005
Aims:
• Summarize the actual status quo of mapping and research on
Quaternary geology in Europe
• To help understanding the Quaternary history of Europe
• In cooperation and synergies with international experts
• As GIS, to be available on-line
• For science, university, planning authorities, exploration …
1st Edition of the International Quaternary Map of
Europe , scale 1 : 2500 000
• 1967 -1995
• 14 paper sheets
• 33 countries contributing
• umbrella: CGMW
and INQUA
• editor: BGR
• Supported by the INQUA through The 14 mapsheets of the International Quaternary Map of Europe were prepared by: a) national contributors, b) compilation at BGR, Hannover

Participation
Discrepancies across political boundaries
differing:
− national mapping focus,
− mapping scales
− age of mapping campaign
− mapping methods
− classification systems/taxonomies *
− portrayal rules from country to
and … the individual fondness of the
mapping geologists for a specific
feature
* EC Directive INSPIRE changed some of that.
Need for a common denominator:
Project standards
Use of existing standards; IUGS time scale;
European EC INSPIRE Directive Implementation Rules: Active faults
data model and vocabularies

- glaciogenic features –
(in final discussion by IQUAME participants)
• glacial
e.g. drumlins, esker, nunatak fields, tunnel valleys, moraine
features
• periglacial
e.g. pingos, cover sands
• and
e.g. loess/loess-like • glacio-marine/subaquatic
deposits, features
alluvial fans,
dunes e.g. glacial scouring marks,
and dunefields, etc ice-rafted debris fields

issues remain
Yet to be done:
• geometric
harmonisation
• solve semantic
discrepanciesA selection of challenges … • Aquisition of data from now 43 countries • Harmonisation across borders • Transformation to IQUAME standards Picture: Kristine Asch (private) • Find the most actual data • Compilation of data for max entents of glaciation, in particular: Weichselian, Saalian (Elsterian, Cromerian?) • LGM representation in the Alps • Selection of contents and portrayal to display • Differing mapping scales
