Based on an entirely redesigned concept, it integrates the state of the art geological knowledge of our planet at the turning-point of the XX/XXI centuries. This 3rd edition of the map intends to give a better global overview of the mega-structures, and the most important geological assemblages resulting from the complex history of our planet throughout 4 billion years.
The 1:5 Million International Geological Map of Europe and Adjacent Areas (IGME 5000), was printed in December 2005 and released in February 2006. This map, a BGR (Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources of Germany) product coordinated by Dr. Kristine Asch under the aegis of the Commission for the Geological Map of the World, is the result of the collaboration of 48 European geological surveys and the support of a network of scientific advisors.
This map presents one of the best preserved and best-studied young meteorite impact craters on Earth. It was compiled by Christian Koeberl (University of Vienna, Austria) and Wolf Uwe Reimold (University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa) and published – with a 40 page full color explanation booklet - by the Austrian Geological Survey.
