swissBEDROCK
swissBEDROCK is a comprehensive dataset that provides detailed information on Switzerland’s bedrock surface. In addition to the bedrock elevation model (BEM), it includes information on the thickness of unconsolidated deposits (TMUD), details on uncertainty, authors and changes compared to previous versions. The dataset is structured as a multi-band raster dataset (10 x 10 meter raster cell size) with <a href=" https://www.geocat.ch/geonetwork/srv/api/records/f7836146-3f9a-4807-9011-618800409236/attachments/Attribute_Table.pdf?approved=true" target="_blank">11 information bands</a> per cell. It supports versioning for transparency and traceability and is maintained through automated updates within defined areas using new borehole and mapping information or replacements with third-party contributions. The full swissBEDROCK dataset can be <a href="https://www.swisstopo.admin.ch/en/swissbedrock-en" target="_blank">downloaded here</a> or viewed and queried on <a href="https://viewer.swissgeol.ch/?lon=8.41012&lat=46.83165&elevation=425641&heading=0&pitch=-90&map=ch.swisstopo.pixelkarte-grau&map_transparency=0.00&layers=ch.swisstopo.swissbedrock-geotiff&layers_visibility=true&layers_transparency=0.50&layers_timestamp=" target="_blank">viewer.swissgeol.ch</a> on a per-cell basis.
