(eds) 2021. Developments in map data management and geological unit nomenclature in Finland. Geological Survey of Finland, Bulletin 412, 169 pages, 41 figures, 18 tables and 4 appendices. The ongoing transition from maps to 3D modelling of geology needs to be supported by efficient infrastructure, both within the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) and nationally. One key com- ponent is the easy use of geological map data in forward modelling processes. In practice, this means consistency, standardization and traceability of all the interpreted map data. The first paper (Ahtonen et al.) describes the structure of the new GTK Map Data Architecture (MDA) within the broader context of National Geological Framework of Finland (NGFF). MDA will be founded on three pillars: (1) structured spatial data, with the map objects and related attri- butes arranged as thematic layers; (2) structured non-spatial data (Finstrati databases for defined geological units; Finstruct database for major bedrock structures) and (3) linked documentation, including key references to the original geological descriptions and scientific content. The MDA is designed to meet the needs of various use cases and to enable access to all kinds of geological information. The Precambrian crystalline bedrock of the Fennoscandian shield area is covered by a thin layer of superficial deposits of Quaternary age. The distinctly twofold characteristics of Fennoscandian geology are directly reflected in the mapping concepts and in the research tradition in Finland. The last three contributions of the volume consider the principles of geological map unit division. The second paper, “Terminology and division of tectonic-scale map units in Finland” (Kohonen et al.), clarifies the connection between the prevailing tectonic evolution models and the national bedrock map compilations. The new, coherent classification system for tectonic-scale map units consists of three categories: crustal province, tectonic province and structural province. The ca- tegories are conceptually independent, which allows both the subdivision and spatial overlapping of the map units. Key attributes for characterization of all the province categories are provided. The third paper (Luukas & Kohonen) summarizes the current ideas concerning thrust tectonics in Finland. The new province division presented in the second paper has been utilized here in the arrangement of the thrust systems. The authors present a country-wide compilation of the major thrust-bounded units in Finland. All the units (nappes, allochthons and thrust stacks) are named, characterized and linked to the corresponding detachment. The Quaternary superficial deposits were deposited on the bedrock mainly during and after the last glaciation as a result various glacial and postglacial processes. The fourth paper (Palmu et al.) presents a comprehensive and coherent system for the management of the superficial map units in Finland. The approach is based on four parallel systems: (1) glacial dynamic (GD) classification (provinces and regions), (2) morpho-lithogenetic (MLG) classification, (3) lithostratigraphic clas- sification, and (4) allostratigraphic classification. The refined GD approach creates an overall map unit framework, whereas MLG classification is applied to interpretations of glacial landforms from high-resolution (2m grid) LiDAR DEM data. Lithostratigraphy and allostratigraphy are standard methods in type section based mapping and in marine geological surveys, respectively.

The main focus is on questions related to data architectures and underlying geological classification systems, not on information system technologies. All the examples represent activities by the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK), but the underpinning concepts are generic and basically applicable any- where with a similar geological environment. The geological map – an anachronism? Since the early 19th century, printed geological maps have formed the fundamental foundation in the representation of geological relationships in regional geology. A geological map is essentially a 2D model, an interpretation based on the compiler’s ideas of the geology, often supported by cross-sections, structural drawings and stratigraphic diagrams. The traditional geological mapping has been under pressure: the relevance of the printed format was undermined by GIS technologies and online data delivery, while the 2D-model concept has been eroded by technologically advanced modelling technologies, and long-term mapping programmes are challenged by cost-efficient thematic and targeted field strategies. However, the fundamental drawback of the traditional map format and related mapping procedure may be none of these, but the conceptual limitations and, especially, the narrow data model speci- fications. Geology consists of several subtopics, such as petrology, structural geology, stratigraphy and metamorphic geology, and all these utilize the spatial representation of data and interpre- tations. Any map with a scale, layout and legend has resolution limitations, both in the amount of detail and overlapping map features. The cornerstone of the shifted paradigm is no longer a printed one-layout map series but efficient storage of accessible versatile map information – the system. A modern map data architecture allows different approaches (e.g. tectonic, stratigraphic, structural) via a theme-layer-based structure. As a result, the geological features can be stored in all the richness provided by the alternative approaches. The combined use of the map themes enables a complete view of all aspects of the up-to-date regional geology. The role of a modern Geological Survey The transition from 2D to 3D modelling of geology needs to be supported, both within the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) and nationally, by an efficient infrastructure. In the future, one key function of GTK will be to provide reliable geological spatial data and interpretation for various application areas, such as mineral potential assessment and infrastructure planning. In any for- ward modelling process, the consistency, standardization and traceability of the input map data are of crucial importance. In practice, the transformation from map sheets to data architectures is a tedious process. The planning and maintenance of the system is not possible without a truly systemic approach with common rules, defined terms and harmonization of the legacy information – including maps with variable classification systems. Positively, generic conceptual models, such

The Mora- vo–Moldanubian Phase involved the overthrusting of the Moldanubian over the Moravian Zone, a process which may have followed the subduction of an intervening oceanic domain (a part of the Rheiic Ocean) beneath a Moldanubian (Armorican) active continental margin. The Moravo–Moldanubian Phase also involved the exhumation of the HP–HT rocks of the Gföhl Unit into the Moldanubian middle crust, represented by the Monotonous and Variegated series. The tectonic emplacement of the HP–HT rocks was accompanied by intrusions of distinct magnesio-potassic granitoid melts (the 335–338 Ma old Durbachite plutons), which contain components from a strongly enriched lithospheric mantle source. Two parallel belts of HP–HT rocks associated with Durbachite intrusions can be distinguished, a western one at the Teplá–Barrandian and an eastern one close to the Moravian boundary.

During the course of this study, I had the opportunity to witness the beautiful scenery and outstanding geology of Greenland firsthand during a one-month fieldtrip to the area around Tasiilaq in June and August of 2014, for which I greatly appreciate funding by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and the Ministry of Mineral Resources of Greenland (MMR). Regular funding was provided by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft from 2013 to 2016, with additional funding until late 2017 by employment at the Institute of Applied Mineralogy and Economic Geology at RWTH Aachen. At first, I want to thank my supervisor Annika Dziggel for her great support and guidance, but also for initiating this interesting project in the first place. Thank you for your support during fieldwork, for encouraging me to keep a sharp mind during analysis and interpretation and for teaching me how to properly present my data. Many thanks also go out to my Co-Supervisor Sven Sindern for his support during the countless hours I spent in the laboratory, as well as with the whole-rock data and isotopic dating.

Populations impacted by industrial and/or sewage effluents were compared to reference populations from pristine sites. We examined both the prevalence (proportion of diseased fish) and intensity (number of scales covered by tumors) of the disease. Results of Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMM) indicated that the risk of papillomatosis was 7.5 times higher in males than females, and increased 1.3 times for every 10 mm increment in fish length. We controlled for the possible effects of fish size, sex and temporal variation through sampling procedures and statistical analyses. Mean prevalence of epidermal papil- lomatosis was 16.6 and 5.8% in impact and reference populations, respectively (10 population pairs; nfish = 1714). Results of GLMM suggested that the risk of being diseased was 2.7 times higher in the impact than reference populations. Thus, the prevalence of epidermal papillomatosis in roach can be used as an indicator of environmental stress.

    The Geology of England – Critical Examples of Earth History – an Overview

    The Geology of England – critical examples of Earth history – an overview Mark A. Woods*, Jonathan R. Lee British Geological Survey, Environmental Science Centre, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG *Corresponding Author: Mark A. Woods, email: [email protected] Abstract Over the past one billion years, England has experienced a remarkable geological journey. At times it has formed part of ancient volcanic island arcs, mountain ranges and arid deserts; lain beneath deep oceans, shallow tropical seas, extensive coal swamps and vast ice sheets; been inhabited by the earliest complex life forms, dinosaurs, and finally, witnessed the evolution of humans to a level where they now utilise and change the natural environment to meet their societal and economic needs. Evidence of this journey is recorded in the landscape and the rocks and sediments beneath our feet, and this article provides an overview of these events and the themed contributions to this Special Issue of Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association, which focuses on ‘The Geology of England – critical examples of Earth History’. Rather than being a stratigraphic account of English geology, this paper and the Special Issue attempts to place the Geology of England within the broader context of key ‘shifts’ and ‘tipping points’ that have occurred during Earth History. 1. Introduction England, together with the wider British Isles, is blessed with huge diversity of geology, reflected by the variety of natural landscapes and abundant geological resources that have underpinned economic growth during and since the Industrial Revolution. Industrialisation provided a practical impetus for better understanding the nature and pattern of the geological record, reflected by the publication in 1815 of the first geological map of Britain by William Smith (Winchester, 2001), and in 1835 by the founding of a national geological survey.

    1446 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW VOLUME 140 Tornado Climatology of Finland JENNI RAUHALA Finnish Meteorological Institute, Helsinki, Finland HAROLD E. BROOKS NOAA/National Severe Storms Laboratory, Norman, Oklahoma DAVID M. SCHULTZ Centre for Atmospheric Science, School for Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom, and Division of Atmospheric Science, Department of Physics, University of Helsinki, and Finnish Meteorological Institute, Helsinki, Finland (Manuscript received 31 July 2011, in final form 8 November 2011) ABSTRACT A tornado climatology for Finland is constructed from 1796 to 2007. The climatology consists of two datasets. A historical dataset (1796–1996) is largely constructed from newspaper archives and other historical archives and datasets, and a recent dataset (1997–2007) is largely constructed from eyewitness accounts sent to the Finnish Meteorological Institute and news reports. This article describes the process of collecting and evaluating possible tornado reports. Altogether, 298 Finnish tornado cases compose the climatology: 129 from the historical dataset and 169 from the recent dataset. An annual average of 14 tornado cases occur in Finland (1997–2007). A case with a significant tornado (F2 or stronger) occurs in our database on average every other year, composing 14% of all tornado cases. All documented tornadoes in Finland have occurred between April and November. As in the neighboring countries in northern Europe, July and August are the months with the maximum frequency of tornado cases, coincident with the highest lightning occurrence both over land and sea. Waterspouts tend to be favored later in the summer, peaking in August. The peak month for significant tornadoes is August.
