Limitations on Public Access

otherRestrictions

Other constraints

Access is intended for Local Councils, to aid risk assessment of Brownfield sites. Use constraints may depend on restrictions imposed by the Local Councils and by individual researchers.

Other constraints

Either: (i) the dataset is made freely available, e.g. via the Internet, for a restricted category of use (e.g. educational use only); or (ii) the dataset has not been formally approved by BGS for access and use by external clients under licence, but its use may be permitted under alternative formal arrangements; or (iii) the dataset contains 3rd party data or information obtained by BGS under terms and conditions that must be consulted in order to determine the permitted usage of the dataset. Refer to the BGS staff member responsible for the creation of the dataset if further advice is required. He / she should be familiar with the composition of the dataset, particularly with regard to 3rd party IPR contained in it, and any resultant use restrictions. This staff member should revert to the IPR Section (ipr@bgs.ac.uk ) for advice, should the position not be clear.

Additional information

NERC Urgent Grant GST/02/2251. Database is currently under construction, but updates will be dependent on individual researchers. Iain Thornton, leads researcher of consortium, Environmental Geochemistry Research Group, Imperial College. Data will also be available on a Nottingham University based web site under construction by Neil Crout, Patchy distribution within Nottingham and Wolverhampton city boundaries, corresponding to brownfield sites that have been identified as having high metal levels, and that are available for sampling. For each type of chemical analyses that is carried out on a sample, procedures for sampling and preparation have been standardised across all research groups.
