# Geomorphology, Geology, Erosion trends and Coastal defence works, version 2.1

This metadata describe the "Geology, geomorphology and coastal erosion layer" database which is a result of EUROSION project of May 2004 (IGN France International). The database contains the Morpho-sedimentological and geological patterns of the European coastline. Both a geomorphological and a geological code is assigned to each segment. 20 different geomorphological types (and thus codes) and 13 geological types have been defined. The data also features both erosion trends, and the existence of coastal defence works along the European coast. Three codes have been defined to depict erosion trends (stable, erosion, accretion) and two codes to depict coastal defence works (presence, absence). Spatial data is provided at scale 1:100,000, in vector format, and consists in a segmentation of the EUROSION shoreline. Geographical coverage note: Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, and ultra-peripheral regions are only covered 20%. Also, only EU25 countries with coast are included in the data set.https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/geonetwork/srv/api/records/2c7b31f9-193e-48bb-a9a7-02470fb6b042
