Additional information

First documented geophysical survey carried out by BGS in 1952. Geophysical surveying still being done. Data input as and when surveys are undertaken. Related databases are the overseas geophysical surveys, the regional gravity surveys and airborne geophysical databases, which share the top-level oracle table: BGS.GEOP_SURVEY. Dataset about 70% complete. Data missing comes from a backlog of older surveys and some of the most recent surveys. Irregular, depending on detail required for each survey. Inconsistent depending on objectives of survey.
