Norges geologiske undersøkelse (NGU) og Møre og Romsdal fylkeskommune inngikk i mai 2022 en treårig samarbeidsavtale om kartlegging av geologiske ressurser i fylket.
- Avtalen omfattet undersøkelser av mineralpotensialet for jern, titan,
vanadium og andre mineralske ressurser, vurdering av muligheter for eksportrettet pukkproduksjon, kartlegging av geologisk arv for
blant annet reiselivet, samt geokjemiske undersøkelser.
- Geofysiske målinger fra helikopter startet allerede sommeren 2022.
- Avtalen har en samlet verdi på 15 millioner kroner, hvor utgiftene
er fordelt med 7,5 millioner kroner på hver part.
- Her presenterer vi arbeidet i kartleggingsprogrammet,
og resultater etter hvert som de foreligger.
Tidligere har NGU gjennomført, og presentert resultater fra, programmet Geologiske ressurser i Trøndelag, et arbeid som pågikk i samarbeid med Trøndelag fylkeskommune i årene 2019-2021.

The mineral resource database contains an overview of deposits of metals (ore), industrial minerals, and natural stone in Norway. You can display the fact sheet for each registered deposit by searching for occurrences in a specific county or municipality or by using our Map browser. The dataset contains both area- and point registrations. In Norwegian only.
NGU's map and registry system over most of the gravel, crushed stone deposits and quarries in Norway that provide raw materials for the construction industry. The map provides information about the deposits, prioritized on the basis of location, boundaries, land-use, volume and its quality (as a construction material). The map includes entries from geographic areas and specific points. In Norwegian only.
The map of Geoheritage in Norway shows geosites which it is important that people working in administration know of.
Some of the material is old. We are working continually to improve the dataset.
Please contact us if you have any tips for corrections and new areas that should be put in.
NGU has undertaken a comprehensive survey of the Norwegian bedrock. Here you will find the online version of the printed bedrock map series of Norway as well as the database GENINO, a search tool for geological units in Norway.
Geologic map and systematic exploration of the bedrock, provide knowledge and information needed to make decisions about sustainable use of its resources, in conjunction with land use and environmental planning, and assessment of natural hazards landslides and radon.
The Sediments and marine limit map provides an overview of soils in Norway. Quaternary maps (sediment maps) and systematic exploration of soils and their properties, thickness etc., provide the knowledge and information necessary to make decisions in land use and environmental planning.
The data for sediments is based on the contents of the Quaternary map, which in many cases are converted to digital form by scanning and vectorization. In Norwegian only.

Geoscience Portal has information about regional geophysics (fixed wing, helicopter, compilations), petrophysics and gravity.
It is possible to download datasets (Geosoft file formats) or export as georeferenced Geotiff images.
