Digital subsurface


Of all the countries in the world, the most is known about the subsurface in the Netherlands. A treasure trove of data has been collected over more than a century in the Netherlands, most of which has now been digitised. The Geological Survey of the Netherlands (GDN) is responsible for managing and developing the national register of digital subsurface data. Our information position is unique internationally. Not only in terms of its scope, but also in terms of its accessibility; open data are available and can be used to address a wide range of new social issues. We are helping governments, businesses, and other stakeholders with their plans and decisions.
