摘要：As part of its strategy, the Geological Survey of Denmarkand Greenland (GEUS) is to develop a national, digital 3Dgeological model of Denmark that can act as a publicly accessible database representing the current, overall interpretation of the subsurface geology. A national model shouldbe under constant development, focusing on meeting thecurrent demands from society. The constant improvementsin computer capacity and software capabilities have led toa growing demand for advanced geological models and 3Dmaps that meet the current technical standards (Berg etal. 2011). As a consequence, the users expect solutions tostill more complicated and sophisticated problems relatedto the subsurface. GEUS has a long tradition of making2D maps of subsurface layer boundaries and near-surfacegeology (Fredericia & Gravesen 2014), but in the changefrom 2D to 3D and when combining data in new ways,new geological knowledge is gained and new challengesof both technical and organisational character will arise.The purpose of this paper is to present the strategy for thenational 3D geological model of Denmark and the plannedactivities for the years ahead. The paper will also reflect onsome of the challenges related to making and maintaininga nationwide 3D model. Initially, the model will only include the Danish onshore areas, with the Danish offshoreareas and Greenland to be added later using a similar general setup.
