Pre-Quaternary surface topography of Denmark – Geological map of Denmark 1:500.000
This dataset represents the pre-Quaternary surface topography of Denmark, including Kattegat, internal waters and the sea around Bornholm. The map provides a paleotopographic relief of the surface that existed prior to deposition of Quaternary sediments, compiled from geological borehole data, seismic surveys and topographic sources. It includes polygons with 25 m contour intervals, a 500 m grid and boundary delineations, usable in combination with a standard elevation model to determine Quaternary cover thickness. The base map was hand-drawn at 1:250,000 scale and forms a nationwide thematic map product. The map is described in DGU map series no. 44, 1994.

The dataset is documented in DGU Map Series no. 44, published by the Geological Survey of Denmark in 1993/1994 with ISBN 87-89640-98-1 and DOI 10.22008/FK2/TZLEKA/LAEPNZ. The map portrays pre-Quaternary topography based on borehole records from the DGU Bore Archive, seismic surveys, and topographic control. It results from consolidated geological and geophysical data to produce a nationwide paleotopographic map. Further revisions may be incorporated as new borehole and geophysical information becomes available.
