The Germany-wide geophysics information system (FIS-Geophysik, FIS-GP) of the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics (LIAG) is used to store and provide measurement and evaluation data (as well as the associated metadata ) of various geophysical methods. In addition to data from the LIAG, data from partner institutions (companies, authorities, universities and research institutes) are also stored in FIS Geophysics. In addition to a form-based research, the geophysical data is made available via a map application . The web portal can be accessed freely via the Internet and is constantly updated.

history

Under the leadership of the former Institute for Geoscientific Community Tasks (GGA), today LIAG, a working group from the State Geological Services of Germany (SGD) carried out a demand and availability analysis for geophysical data from various methods in the mid-1990s. This analysis attested a significant need with only limited digital availability at the time, ie a considerable need for action with regard to the storage and provision of this data.

In the GGA Institute, when setting up the geophysics specialist information system, the main focus was initially on borehole geophysics , the potential methods and the temperature measurements of the subsurface due to the data situation . A database structure was developed and implemented for data storage . Since 1998 the digitization, homogenization and the import of the then existing and newly added data into the database has been carried out . The aim was or is to build up data stocks that are as extensive as possible across Germany. The methods of magnetics , gravimetry , underground temperatures and aerogeophysics are particularly promising.

In addition to a graphical user interface for internal data management, a web portal for researching data for the geophysical community was developed and activated in 2002.

Since then, the FIS-Geophysics has been further developed and maintained both functionally and in terms of content in cooperation with partner institutions, especially the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) and the State Office for Mining, Energy and Geology Lower Saxony (LBEG). In particular, it was expanded to include further methods geoelectrics , aerogeophysics, petrophysics and airborne transient electromagnetics = SkyTEM.

The LIAG was involved in the EU project GEOMIND (Geophysical Multilingual Internet-Driven Information Service) from 2006 to 2008 with the contribution of FIS-Geophysics. As part of this project, a European geodata portal was set up through which the content of national geophysical information systems can be accessed across borders.

Architecture / structure

Form-based search in FIS geophysics
Map application in FIS geophysics

The IT architecture of the overall system consists of a graphical user interface for data management, a web portal with form-based research and map application and a database, whereby these are divided into a general part (superstructure) with infrastructure and metadata of all methods and several subsystems (borehole geophysics , Geoelectrics, gravimetry, magnetics, temperature measurements of the medium and deep subsurface, seismics , vertical seismic profiling = VSP, aerogeophysics, petrophysics and terrestrial or airborne transient electromagnetics = TEM or SkyTEM) is subdivided with their measurement and evaluation data.

The FIS-Geophysik web portal consists of the components FIS-GP-Search and FIS-GP-Viewer. With FIS-GP-Search , a menu and form interface is available for / for attribute-oriented research, printing, visualization, downloading, data analysis, etc. to disposal. FIS-GP-Viewer offers similar possibilities, but the research here is map-oriented with selectable map backgrounds and geographic reference systems.

As of April 2020

It is worth mentioning that the underground temperatures subsystem is a unique collection of measured and corrected temperature data in Germany. This subsystem is an important data source for the Geothermal Information System Germany (GeotIS) also operated by the LIAG .

Data access

Integrated rights management allows differentiated access for the geophysical community, taking into account data confidentiality. It is possible to register personally as a user or to use a guest account. When logging on via the guest account, sensitive information (especially measured values) of protected data objects is hidden. Rights are granted on the basis of the institution to which the user belongs or on the basis of individual collaborations, e.g. B. Master and PhD theses.
