2 EGS - Task Force Superficial Deposits/ Soil Resources 39 members (24 countries) Chair: Rainer Baritz (BGR, Germany) Co-Chair: Florence Quesnel (BRGM) 2

3 Objectives of the task force: Superficial Deposits/ Soil Resources Mid-term: to develop a European map of surface-close lithologies (parent material map) Long-term: to develop a database which comprises the major mechanical and hydraulic characteristics of the weathered geological materials 3

4 1. Relevant continental PM maps 2. Harmonized PM classification needed to link between soils and geology considering comaptibility with INSPIRE 3. Status of Europe-wide PM mapping activities 1:250,000 4
