Global Lithological Map Database (GLiM) |
| Note |
The high resolution global lithological map (GLiM) was assembled from existing regional geological maps translated into lithological information with the help of regional literature. The GLiM represents the rock types of the Earth surface using 1,235,400 polygons. The lithological classification consists of three levels. The first level contains 16 lithological classes comparable to previously applied definitions in global lithological maps. The additional two levels contain 12 and 14 subclasses, respectively, which describe more specific rock attributes. The high resolution of the GLiM ( (target scale: 1:1,000,000) allows observation of regional lithological distributions which often vary from the global average. |
