Environmental Geology Datasets

Overview

Environmental Geology Datasets is a curated geospatial dataset repository maintained by NORA Research Lab. It supports environmental geology, GIS, GeoAI, mineral exploration, hydrogeology, remote sensing, hazard analysis, and scientific research.

The repository is intended to serve as a standardized backend for the Automated Geological Data Fetching System (AGDFS). It aggregates and organizes third-party geospatial datasets into cloud-friendly formats for efficient storage, querying, and reuse.

Data Format

Vector datasets are stored primarily as GeoParquet. Raster datasets, when added, should be stored as GeoTIFF.

Standard coordinate reference system:

EPSG:4326 (WGS84)

Processing Pipeline

Typical processing steps include:

Download from original provider
Validate files and geometry
Reproject to EPSG:4326 where needed
Convert to cloud-native format
Compress and optimize
Upload to Hugging Face
Record source and processing metadata

Scientific meaning and attributes are preserved during conversion.

Attribution

All third-party scientific datasets remain the property of their original creators. NORA Research Lab performs aggregation, validation, format conversion, metadata generation, and cloud distribution.

Users should cite both the original dataset providers and NORA Research Lab where appropriate.

Licensing

This repository includes an MIT LICENSE file for repository code, scripts, and documentation created by NORA Research Lab. The datasets themselves retain the licenses of their original providers and are not relicensed under MIT.

Intended Use

This repository is intended for:

environmental geology
hydrogeology
geospatial analysis
machine learning
GeoAI
academic research
data engineering
spatial querying

Limitations

Dataset coverage, resolution, and completeness depend on the original source. Some datasets may be global, while others may be regional or incomplete in some areas.

Users should review each source's documentation before using the data in publication or production.
