The Iberian Evaporite Structure Database (IESDB; https://iesdb.eu) includes information about the stratigraphy, structure, event chronology, seismic and well data availability, and mining activity (historical and active) of outcropping and buried evaporite structures in Iberia, including a set of geological maps, sketches and cross-sections (8 figures for each indexed structure).

The database targets diapirs, undeformed evaporite successions, evaporite-cored anticlines, evaporite-detached thrusts and allochtonous evaporite bodies. It is sourced from six different databases and more than 1,500 published and unpublished research articles, books, conference abstracts and industry reports. The IESDB follows the FAIR principles of data management (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).
