Statement

Profile soil samples collected, and analysed, from a number of BGS programmes, notably the Mineral Reconnaissance Programme (MRP) and the Geochemical Baseline Survey of the Environment (G-BASE) programme. A database was created to hold the information from the analysis and this layer of the GeoIndex is derived from this database.
