Ground Geophysical Surveys In The UK Done For Specific Projects.

The database contains an index to over 600 ground geophysical surveys carried out in the UK for a variety of projects. A large number of these surveys were done for the DTI Mineral Reconnaissance Programme in the 1970s and 80s; many others were done at the request of BGS field mapping groups. Information held describes the survey objective, location of measurements, geophysical methods and equipment used, reports and publications, storage locations of data and results (for analogue and digital data), dates and personnel.

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.
