Abstract
The updating of the map of the mineral resources from Romania by a team of researchers led to the need for a GIS database. This database contains information on the sites with mineral resources, geological data describing the associated geological map, as well as topographic and hydrographic data. Associated attributes include general data, identification data, geographical data, geological data, economic data, descriptions and references. Spatial and attribute data were organized following the relational database model previously developed for the geological map. Associated dictionaries allow the effective classification of the information, easy queries, as well as the use of various symbols for the sites. The results can be presented in either printed form or digital format, by means of 3D images or by using WebGIS applications or WMS services. Given the structure of the database, the information will be constantly updated and associated with other data.

Pre-ocean and post-collision intraplate basalts from Romania: A comparative study
In the present paper, the intraplate pre-ocean Triassic Dobrogean basalts and the post-collision Paleogene Transylvanian basalts have been comparatively studied. Although the two basaltic rock series show the same tecton...
The composition and source of the raw material of two stone axes of Late Bronze Age from Neamț County (Romania) - A Raman study
Two stone axes of Late Bronze Age from Moldova region (Romania) have been studied by Raman spectroscopy. The first axe (A1) belongs to the archaeological site Vînători (Neamț county). From a petrographic viewpoint, the s...
Geochemical distribution of selected trace elements in the soil-plant system from Mănăila mining area, Romania
This study presents the geochemical distribution of several trace elements (TE) (Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Pb) in a soil-plant system, taking into account the lingonberry, a shrub most widely spread around the Mănăila mining regio...
Early Cretaceous Foraminifera, Algal Nodules and Calpionellids from the Lapoş Valley, Bicaz Gorges (Eastern Carpathians, Romania)
The Early Cretaceous (Neocomian) carbonate deposits of the Transylvanian carbonate Platform (Patrulius et al., 1976) are well-developed, with a nearly complete geological section along the Lapoş Valley, Bicaz Gorges (Eas...
