Geophysical Surveys In Latin America.

Data from geophysical surveys in many South American and Caribbean countries carried out by the British Geological Survey for different agencies. The surveys range from regional gravity and airborne magnetic mapping to targetted surveys for mineral and water. Individual surveys do not yet have metadata entries: this entry describes a notional database that represents all geophysical surveys carried out within the region.

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.
