From the official mission statement:
The RGD ("Rijks Geologische Dienst" in Dutch) is the centre for information
and research on the geology of the Netherlands.
Our subsoil is important in more than one aspect: as well for use of the
surface as for the possible mining of deeper mineral and energy resources.
Sound management of the subsoil of the Netherlands must be based upon
extended knowledge. The RGD is the primary organization that carries this
knowledge of the subsoil of the Netherlands and is therefore the advisor
for governmental bodies, companies and private persons about the dutch
subsoil and the dutch part of the North Sea bottom.
Keywords: Geology, Oil and gas, Mineral resources, Mapping, Hydrogeology,
Environment, Geochemistry, Geological database, Geotechnology,

Our site includes such features as fuzzy searchable geological maps of the

publications of interest, various papers and fact sheets and, e.g., an EU
paper on Climate Change and Coastal Evolution in Europe
