Additional information

Individual datasets are added irregularly to databases. The component databases are updated irregularly as data becomes available. Most datasets have been described in detailed BGS reports. This entry refers to a series of disparate datasets that have been collected for many purposes. The spatial detail varies from low resolution regional surveys of some countries, ranging to detailed targeted surveys over mineral or water prospects in other countries.
