Bedrock - Geological data

Information about the bedrock is used as a basis for prospecting for ores, industrial minerals and rocks suitable for, for example, aggregate material for road and railway construction. The information is also an important basis for planning buildings and facilities, geothermal energy extraction and in the environmental field.

Note that some of our web pages about geological data currently only are available in Swedish.
