Map based index (GeoIndex) geochemical atlas areas

This layer of the map-based index (GeoIndex) shows the boundaries of the G-BASE (Geochemical Baseline Survey of the Environment) project mapping areas, which are reported as geochemical atlases. The majority of atlases are for stream sediment, with data on stream water and soil included where available. Separate stream sediment, soil and stream water atlases have been published for Wales. Hard copy atlases are available for Shetland, Orkney, South Orkney and Caithness, Sutherland, Hebrides, Great Glen, East Grampians, Argyll, Southern Scotland, Lake District, NE England, NW England and N Wales and Wales. Digital atlases/map products are available for the Clyde Basin, Central England, London Region and SW England. National digital atlas products are available also.

Data Quality

This is an index to Geochemical Atlas areas, the principal hardcopy product of the G-BASE project. The Geochemical Baseline Survey of the Environment (G-BASE) is a major BGS project, begun in the late 1960s, with an annual campaign of geochemical sampling within many parts of the UK.
