The Geonetwork Catalog of the Arctic Biodiversity Data Service (ABDS) https://abds.is/ is an integral component of the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) initiative https://www.caff.is/. CAFF is a working group of the Arctic Council dedicated to addressing the conservation challenges facing Arctic biodiversity and promoting sustainable management practices in the region. As part of CAFF's mandate, the ABDS aims to provide a comprehensive and accessible repository of biodiversity-related data and information specific to the Arctic. The Geonetwork Catalog within ABDS serves as a centralized platform for discovering, accessing, and sharing geospatial datasets relevant to Arctic biodiversity conservation and management. It hosts a diverse range of spatial data layers, including species distribution maps, habitat classifications, ecosystem assessments, land cover maps, and more. These datasets are sourced from various contributors, including scientific research projects, monitoring programs, government agencies, indigenous knowledge holders, and non-governmental organizations. Hereafter you can find the WMS, WFS and GeoNetwork connections.

Corine Land Cover (CLC) 2012 and CLC change 2006-2012 are two of the datasets produced within the frame of the Initial Operations of the Copernicus programme (the European Earth monitoring programme previously known as GMES) on land monitoring.Corine Land Cover (CLC) provides consistent information on land cover and land cover changes across Europe. This inventory was initiated in 1985 (reference year 1990) and established a time series of land cover information with updates in 2000, 2006 and 2012 being the last one. CLC products are based on photointerpretation of satellite images by national teams of participating countries - the EEA member and cooperating countries – following a standard methodology and nomenclature with the following base parameters: 44 classes in the hierarchical three level Corine nomenclature; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for status layers is 25 hectares; minimum width of linear elements is 100 metres; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for Land Cover Changes (LCC) for the change layers is 5 hectares. The resulting national land cover inventories are further integrated into a seamless land cover map of Europe. Land cover and land use (LCLU) information is important not only for land change research, but also more broadly for the monitoring of environmental change, policy support, the creation of environmental indicators and reporting. CLC datasets provide important datasets supporting the implementation of key priority areas of the Environment Action Programmes of the European Union as protecting ecosystems, halting the loss of biological diversity, tracking the impacts of climate change, assessing developments in agriculture and implementing the EU Water Framework Directive, among others.More about the Corine Land Cover (CLC) and Copernicus land monitoring data in general can be found at http://land.copernicus.eu/.

Þekja [layer] j100v_vesturgosbelti_hoggun_1utg_li: Höggun á Vesturgosbelti Íslands, línulag. [Tectonic of the Western Volcanic Zone Icelands, line features.] Gögn sýna sprungur, misgengi, gjár, mislægi og brotalínur, kortlagt í mkv. 1:100.000. [Tectonic line features such as faults, fractures, fissures, unconformity, and fracture lines mapped at 1:100,000 scale.]

Þekja [layer] j100v_vesturgosbelti_gigar_1utg_li: Gígar á Vesturgosbelti, línulag. [Craters of the Western Volcanic Zone, line data.] Gögn sem sýna gígaröð og útlínur. Gerður er greinarmunur á gossprungum, Holósen útlínur gíga (yngri og eldri en 7000 ára) og gígar frá Kvarter (kuldaskeið/hlýskeiðs). [Data detailing crater rows and outlines. This includes distinctions between eruptive fissure rows, Holocene crater outlines (younger and older than 7000 years), and quarternary (glacial/interglacial) craters.]

Gögnin sýna hvar leyfi hafa verið gefin út vegna framkvæmda við veiðivötn. Ekki er um að ræða opin gögn. Gögnin eru vistuð hjá Fiskistofu.

Þekja (layer) j100v_austurland_millilog_1utg_li:: Gjóskulög á Austfjörðum. [Tuff layers in Eastern Iceland.] Línur sýna staðsetningu stærstu gjóskulagana á Austfjörðum. Gjóskulögin eru fengin úr ýmsum kortum og kortlagningu Birgis V. Óskarssonar. Gögn eru flokkuð eftir ÍST120:2012 staðlinum, nema þrjá fitjueigindir: myndunKodi = Heiti myndunarinnar (skammstöfun) myndunIS = Heiti myndunarinnar (á íslenskuc) myndunEN = Heiti myndunarinnart (á ensku) [Lines show the location of largest tuff deposits in Eastern Iceland. The tuff layers are derived from older maps and the mapping of Birgir V. Óskarsson. The data follows the ÍST120:2012 data standard with the three additional feature attributes: myndunKodi = Lithostratigraphic unit (abbreviation) myndunIS = Lithostratigraphic unit (in Icelandic) myndunEN = Lithostratigraphic unit (in English)]

Náttúruminjaskrá er listi yfir öll friðlýst svæði á Íslandi og mörg önnur merkileg svæði sem hafa ekki enn verið friðlýst. Umhverfisstofnun skal í samráði við Náttúrufræðistofnun Íslands og hlutaðeigandi náttúrustofur og náttúruverndarnefndir sjá um undirbúning og öflun gagna vegna viðbóta við náttúruminjaskrá og heildarútgáfu hennar. Nýjasta náttúruminjaskrá er frá árinu 1996 og er skrá yfir náttúruminjar sem ástæða þykir til að friða. Afmörkun svæðanna eru birt með fyrivörum um ónákvæmni og villur en þær voru árið 2006. Orðalag náttúruminjaskrár gildir.
