An interactive explorer of Malta, Gozo and Comino, combining locality maps, terrain and geology layers with geography games.
- For
- People exploring Malta and Gozo’s geography
- Worth noticing
- The groundwater map shows surface projections of aquifer bodies, not water depth; its aquifer diagrams are labeled conceptual and not to scale.
Field notes
The map interface offers elevation, bedrock, groundwater, and locality-area layers, with controls to pan, zoom, and select land for a height reading. Locality records are described as including neighbours and sampled elevation ranges alongside mapped formations and groundwater bodies. The geology sections distinguish several aquifer types, while noting that soil patterns vary locally and that the groundwater map shows surface projections rather than water depth.
