Various map viewers with information about Sweden's soils, their distribution and composition, as well as the presence of gravel, moraine and peat in particular. For a complete collection please visit the Swedish map viewer.
The map viewer "Conditions for landslides in fine-grained soil" is intended to be used at an early planning stage to identify areas where there may be a risk of landslides and where further investigations need to be carried out. In order to interpret the information correctly, basic geotechnical and geological skills are required.
The map viewer "Glacial striations" shows the position and direction of glacial striations and is intended to provide information about the movements of inland ice.
The map viewer "Soil types 1:25 000–1:100 000" provides an overview of the properties of soil types. The information can be used as a basis for planning, analysis, research and education.
The Soil depth map viewer displays a very comprehensive surface-coverage model of the soil depth (Soil-depth model) and soil depth observations collected by SGU.
The Map viewer "Landslides and gullies" show traces of landslide scars and gullies in unconsolidated deposits. Together with geological data, the information can be used for an overview assessment of landslide susceptibility and ground stability.
In the map viewer "Beach erosion and geology, coast" displays geological information from the coastal zone in Skåne, Halland and western Blekinge. The information primarily forms the basis for assessing vulnerability to beach erosion but can also be used, for example, for land use planning and environmental monitoring.
The map viewer "Acid sulphate soil" shows where acid sulphate soil may be present along the coast of Västernorrland, Västerbotten and Norrbotten.
The map viewer "Peat" contains information about the characteristics of peat layers, such as its composition, humification rate and wetness. The information can be used as a planning basis for the extraction of energy or cultivation squares.
