Together with the INQUA BGR published the International Quarternary Map of Europe 1 : 2 500 000.
Quaternary features such as end moraines, ground moraine hillocks, kames, drumlins, eskers and ice border lines are represented on the map. Additionally, the map shows the directions of ice movements, limits of marine transgressions and tectonic faults. Important localities of Quaternary research, bathymetric lines and recent deposits covering the sea floor are also indicated.

The map is currently being revised and digitized. A description of the project can be found here.

The legend on each of the 14 map sheets is in German and, depending on the territories covered, in English, French or Russian. The general legend is placed on map sheet number 15. Here you can download the general legend and also a reduced english version.
