Description: The data files belong to a 3D structural model which covers the Vøring and Møre basins offshore Norway. In addition, a part of the exposed Fennoscandian Caledonides in the south-east and an oceanic crustal domain are covered by the model. The constructed 3D model is 490 km wide and 660 km long with a horizontal grid spacing of 2500 m, and a vertical resolution corresponding to the number of integrated layers. The lithospheric-scale 3D structural model includes 14 layers: (1) sea water; (2) upper Neogene (post-middle Miocene) sediments; (3) middle-upper Paleogene-lower Neogene (pre-middle Miocene) sediments; (4) lower Paleogene (Paleocene) sediments; (5) oceanic layer 2AB (basalts); (6) Upper Cretaceous (post-Cenomanian) sediments; (7) Lower Cretaceous (preCenomanian) sediments; (8) pre-Cretaceous sediments; (9) continental crystalline crust; (10) oceanic layer 3A; (11) high-density zones within the continental crystalline crust; (12) oceanic layer 3B; (13) high-density bodies within the lower continental crystalline crust; (14) lithospheric mantle. The thicknesses of the layers correspond to apparent thicknesses. In addition, data for earth surface topography is provided in the file: 0_Topography.dat. Model coordinates are based on the UTM 33 Zone (Northern Hemisphere) using the WGS 84 datum. The data format is ASCII and contains three columns (X, Y and Z), where X and Y are geographical coordinates (X = longitude, Y = latitude); Z (in m) is thickness of the layer or structural depth (base of layer) or surface elevation. The grid of each layer consists of 196 cells in W-E direction and 265 cells in S-N direction. The grid limits are the following: Xmin = -222590 and Xmax = 267410; Ymin = 6892200 and Ymax = 7552200. The vertical datum of the 3D model refers to the mean sea level. Organisation of data files: Data are organised in two folders (“Bases” and “Thicknesses”); data for earth surface topography (in case of water: sea level) is in the root folder: 0_Topography.dat. The folder “Bases” contains 14 data files named according to the model layers as outlined above. The folder “Thicknesses” contains 14 data files named according to the model layers as outlined above.

Description: The scope of this Science Plan is to describe the scientific background, applications, and activities related to the EnMAP mission. Primarily, the Science Plan addresses scientists and funding institutions, but it may also be of interest for environmental stakeholders and governmental bodies. It is conceived to be a living document that will be updated throughout the whole mission. Current global challenges call for interdisciplinary approaches. Hence, the science plan is not structured in the traditional disciplinary way. Instead, it builds on overarching research themes to which EnMAP can contribute. This Science Plan comprises the following five chapters presenting the significance, background, framework, applications, and strategy of the EnMAP mission: Chapter 2 highlights the need for EnMAP data with respect to major environmental issues and various stakeholders. This chapter states the mission’s main objectives and provides a list of research themes addressing global challenges to whose understanding and management EnMAP can contribute. Chapter 3 presents an overview of the EnMAP mission from a scientific point of view including a brief description of the mission parameters, data products and access, and calibration/validation issues. Chapter 4 provides an overview of hyperspectral remote sensing regarding its principles, development, and current state and synergies to other satellite missions. Chapter 5 describes current lines of research and EnMAP applications to address the research themes presented in Chapter 2. Finally, Chapter 6 outlines the scientific exploitation strategy, which includes the strategy for community building, dissemination of knowledge and increasing public awareness.

Description: The data files belong to a 3D structural model which covers the Glueckstadt Graben, NW Germany. The constructed 3D model is 170 km wide and 166 km long with a horizontal grid spacing of 2000 m, and a vertical resolution corresponding to the number of integrated layers. The 3D structural model includes 10 layers: (1) sea water; (2) Quaternary-Neogene; (3) Paleogene; (4) Upper Cretaceous; (5) Lower Cretaceous; (6) Jurassic; (7) uppermost part of the Middle Triassic and the Upper Triassic (Keuper); (8) Middle Triassic without uppermost and lowermost parts (Muschelkalk); (9) Lower Triassic and lowermost part of the Middle Triassic (Buntsandstein); (10) upper part of the Lower Permian and the Upper Permian (undivided Zechstein plus salt-rich Rotliegend). The thicknesses of the layers correspond to apparent thicknesses. In addition, data for earth surface topography is provided in the file: 0_Topography.dat. Model coordinates are based on the Gauss-Krueger DHDN (zone 3) system. The data format is ASCII and contains three columns (X, Y and Z), where X and Y are geographical coordinates (X = longitude, Y = latitude); Z (in m) is thickness of the layer or structural depth (base of layer) or surface elevation. The grid of each layer consists of 86 cells in W-E direction and 84 cells in S-N direction. The grid limits are the following: Xmin = 3450000 and Xmax = 3620000; Ymin = 5915100 and Ymax = 6081100. The vertical datum of the 3D model refers to the mean sea level. Organisation of data files: Data are organized in two folders (“Bases” and “Thicknesses”); data for earth surface topography (in case of water: sea level) is in the root folder ( 0_Topography.dat). The folder “Bases” contains 10 data files named according to the model layers as outlined above. The folder “Thicknesses” contains 10 data files named according to the model layers as outlined above.

Description: The lithosphere of Iberia has been formed through a number of processes of continental collision and extension. In Lower Paleozoic, the collision of three tectonics blocks produced the Variscan Orogeny, the main event of formation of the Iberian lithosphere. The subsequent Mesozoic rifting and breakup of the Pangea had a profound effect on the continental crust of the western border of Iberia. Since the Miocene, the southern interaction between Africa and Iberia is characterized by a diffuse convergent margin that originates a vast area of deformation. The impact of this complex tectonic in the structure of the Iberian Lithosphere remains an incognito, especially in its western part beneath Portugal. While the surface geology is considerably studied and documented, the crustal and lithospheric structures are not well constrained. The existing knowledge relating the observed surface geology and Lithospheric deep structures is sparse and sometimes incoherent. The seismic activity observed along West Iberia is intensely clustered on few areas, namely on north Alentejo, Estremadura and Regua-Verin fault systems. Some of the problems to address are: What is the relation between surface topography and the deep crustal/lithospheric structure? How was it influenced by the past tectonic events? Which was the deep driving factor behind the tectonic units observed at surface: Lithosphere-Astenosphere boundary structure or deeper mantle structure? How the upper mantle and the Lithosphere-Astenosphere transition zone accommodated the past subduction? Which is its role and influence of the several tectonic units, and their contacts, in the present tectonic regime and in the stress field observed today? Is the anomalous seismicity and associated crustal deformation rates, due to an inherited structure from past orogenies? The main goal of this work is a 3D detailed image of the “slice” of the Earth beneath Western Iberia, by complementing the permanent seismic networks operating in Portugal and Spain. The different scales involved require the usage of several passive seismological methods: Local-Earthquake Tomography for fine structure of seismogenic areas, ambient noise tomography for regional crustal structure, Receiver Functions for Lithospheric structure and Surface-wave tomography for large scale Listosphere-Astenosphere structure. Crustal and Mantle seismic anisotropy analysis, coupled with source analysis and correlation with current geodetic measurements will allow establishing a reference 3D anisotropy model of present and past processes.
