ISO 19115 Definition: Earth science data including geology, minerals, earthquakes, landslides, fossils, and soils.
SPHERE Mapping
The bulk of geoscientific data maps to the Lithosphere — bedrock geology, tectonics, and mineral resources. The ISO definition explicitly includes soils, creating a thread to the Pedosphere.
Primary sphere: Lithosphere Subsphere(s): lithosphere_geology, lithosphere_tectonics, lithosphere_resources
Cross-Domain Connections (Threads)
This theme bridges multiple SPHERE domains:
- Primary: Lithosphere
- Thread → Pedosphere
