Online Databases

Database with information on onshore and offshore geological surveys carried out by LNEG or private operators and respective technical reports.

Repository of the Mineral Deposits Museum made up of samples of metallic, non-metallic and energetic ores, collected in Portuguese mining explorations of these resources.

In this Database, photographs, drawings and images related to the theme of Earth Sciences are presented, duly commented and as much as possible trying to explain the phenomena that these images illustrate.

This Database presents the illustrated characterization of selected samples from the vast collection of rocks, minerals and fossils of the Geological Museum.

This lexicon aims to contribute to the dissemination of Geosciences, providing the curious, students and experts, a source of relevant information on some issues related to Geology and contributing significantly to the dissemination of this science.

This lexicon was designed with the main objective of contributing to the dissemination of Geosciences, more specifically of Hydrogeology, which is the science dedicated to the study of groundwater.

The Palynology Glossaries are subdivided into: Spores and Pollens Glossary, with about 570 terms and the Acritarcas and Algae Glossary, which has 665 terms and 234 illustrative figures, which complement the description of the terms.

In the database of hydrogeological resources, the geological and hydrogeological information of boreholes, wells, springs and boreholes is systematized.

Consultation of metadata on technical reports of prospecting and mining and hydrogeological research activities, carried out by LNEG and by external operators.

The LNEG Library comprises two major research areas: Energy and Geosciences. The energy documentary fund is composed mainly of monographs in the fields of Science and Technology and Social and Human Sciences.

The LNEG Scientific Repository is intended to preserve, disseminate and give access to the scientific production of lneg in digital format. The repository's objectives are: to increase the visibility and impact of research developed in lneg, to improve internal and external communication and to preserve the intellectual memory of the institution.

Database of geosites located in national territory intended for scientific, technical, and educational purposes, to support nature conservation and land use policies, with free access and constant updates.

This portal is the outcome of LNEG's extensive efforts to characterize and disseminate information about Portuguese natural stones. It offers technical sheets detailing the primary lithotypes and includes georeferenced quarrying locations. Additionally, users can perform various types of searches.

Given the incidence of atmospheric corrosion in the maintenance costs of industrial installations in particular and in buildings in general, researchers and technicians have long felt the need for maps of corrosivity of atmospheres.

The catalog of Geothermal Resources in Mainland Portugal aims to provide general information about the geothermal potential and make known the potential of our country, with a view to attracting potential interested in exploring.

SIORMINP is a nationwide information system that contains, in a systematic and synthetic way, geoscientific, technical and economic information related to occurrences, resources and mineral reserves and areas with mining potential.

Database constituted by the set of thermal occurrences in the continent, which contains the name, location, beginning and end of season, therapeutic indications and whether they are active or not.

A database dedicated to the documentation and cataloguing of thin sections, polished surfaces, and their corresponding samples. This digital repository organizes and preserves valuable scientific information, providing detailed descriptions and images to support research, education, and the enhancement of scientific heritage.
