Supplemental Information

The data is updated when new data becomes available. Contains most geophysically logged bores known to BGS NGRC. Relatively few logs from Scotland and Central Wales. Scattered distribution of boreholes - locally dense coverage. Inconsistent, but improving quality dependent on the quality of the data on the borehole log header sheets and improving internal understanding of log data quality.
