Geological Map of the Maltese Islands - Solution Subsidence
This API provides geological data identifying the boundaries of solution subsidence features, shown as polylines describing the contact between geological units at the margins of karstic dolines and sinkholes across the main Maltese Islands. The data is mapped at a scale of 1:10,000 and includes attribution fields for local place names. It is published and maintained by the Planning Authority Malta, forming part of the national geological mapping series for the Maltese Islands. The dataset is relevant for land-use planning, geotechnical assessment, and understanding karst-related ground stability across the archipelago.Data identifying boundaries (shown as polylines) describing the contact between geological units at the margins of karstic dolines and sinkholes. The scale of the data is 1:10 000 scale. Coverage is provided for the main Maltese Islands. The data includes attribution to identify the local names, an…
