- Supplemental Information
- In 1993, the G-BASE rural geochemical mapping programme was extended to include sampling in urban areas. New data is added irregularly (maybe once a year or longer), but never updated once loaded. Data reported for each urban centre in BGS internal report series. PUBLICATION: GEOCHEMICAL BASELINES FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. THE G-BASE PROJECT. Samples are 1 per 500m square. Sampling is undertaken in a consistent manner, derived from the geochemical sampling methods of IGCP 259.
