- Statement
- The original version of Seabed Sediments at 1:250 000 scale dataset (then known as DiGSBS250k) was digitised from the scanned version of the hard copy,1:250 000 scale offshore geological maps series. Sheets of these series were issued on a regular grid, with each map sheet covering an area of one degree of latitude by two degrees of longitude. Details of the printed map sheet names, numbers and publication dates are available from the BGS online catalogue and the printed maps are still available via the BGS Bookshop. The second version of this dataset was released in 2007 (named at the time DiGSBS250k v.2). The principal objective of this revision was to improve the positional accuracy of the data in the dataset. The third and current version of the Seabed Sediments at 1:250 000 scale dataset was released in 2011 (named as DiGRock250k v.3). This version has been updated using new PSA samples and multibeam data to directly modify the digital version.
