The Swiss Atlas of Physical Properties of Rocks (SAPHYR) project aims at centralize, uniform, and digitize dispersed and often hardly accessible laboratory data on physical properties of rocks from Switzerland and surrounding regions. The goal of SAPHYR is to make the quality-controlled and homogenized data digitally accessible to an open public, including industrial, engineering, land and resource planning companies as well as governmental and academic institutions, or simply common people interested in rock physics. The physical properties, derived from pre-existing literature or newly measured, are density, porosity and permeability as well as seismic, magnetic, thermal and electrical properties. The data were collected on samples either from outcrops or from tunnels and boreholes. At present, data from literature have been collected extensively for density, porosity, seismic and thermal properties. In the past years, effort has been placed especially on collecting samples and measuring the physical properties of rock types that were poorly documented in literature. A workflow for quality control on reliability and completeness of the data was established. We made the attempt to quantify the variability and the uncertainty of the data. The database has been recently transferred to the Federal Office of Topography swisstopo with the aim to develop the necessary tools to query the database and open it to the public. Laboratory measurements are continuously collected, therefore the database is ongoing and in continuous development. The spatial distribution of the physical properties can be visualized as maps using simple GIS tools. Here the distribution of bulk density and velocity at room conditions are presented as examples of data representation; the methodology to produce these maps is described in detail. Moreover we also present an exemplification of the use of specific datasets, for which pressure and temperatures derivatives are available, to develop crustal models.
