The geologic category contains the "geotechnic" dataset. The geotechnic dataset describes the subsoil of Switzerland. After rasterizing and resampling the source data (Swisstopo, 1967) to the SWECO25 grid, we generated individual layers for the 30 classes that were available. For each class, we provided the binary maps (0 or 1) and computed 13 focal statistics layers by applying a cell-level function calculating the average percentage cover value for a given class in a circular moving window of 13 radii ranging from 25m to 5km. This dataset includes a total of 420 layers. Final values were rounded and multiplied by 100. The detailed list of layers available is provided in SWECO25_datalayers_details_geol.csv and includes information on the category, dataset, variable name (long), variable name (short), period, sub-period, start year, end year, attribute, radii, unit, and path.
