BRO 3D: soon to be ready for use
6 April 2023
TNO’s Geological Survey of the Netherlands (GDN), in collaboration with the National Key Registry of the Subsurface (BRO), is working on making 3D data and models about the subsurface more easily accessible. This BRO data will soon be conveniently accessible using existing technology via open data platforms and APIs, allowing users to use it directly in their GIS systems.
New geological map of the Kingdom of the Netherlands

16 March 2023
The Geological Survey of the Netherlands (GDN) has completely updated the Zeeland and Goeree-Overflakkee area in its 3D shallow subsurface model, GeoTOP. This innovation provides valuable information for anyone dealing with issues involving the shallow subsurface in that area.
Earth Science Career Event 2023
8 March 2023
On Friday, February 17, the Geological Survey of the Netherlands (GDN) was present at the Earth Science Career Event (ESCE) in Amsterdam (VU). This event is the national career event for students and starters with a geoscience background, and that was very noticeable: many students visited our booth at the company market and had signed up for our workshop.
Groundwater in the Netherlands is a complex issue
31 January 2023
We are already using a lot of drinking water in the Netherlands, and the demand for it is only increasing. Some of our drinking water comes from surface water. But another part, especially in the higher areas of our country, comes from the subsurface, the earth’s strata. With the demand for drinking water being so
New core samples from offshore wind farms for future research.
30 January 2023
New: samples of offshore wind farms With the help of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), the Geological Survey of the Netherlands (GDN) has been given drill samples from offshore wind farms to store for future research at the Core Store. This involves dozens of cubic metres of particularly valuable material from depths of up to
