Geological Site Inventory by Feature Type

Geological sites are cataloged by their primary classification, such as GSIGFEAT, MINSITE, or BORES. The dataset is maintained by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and was last updated in April 2026. Details for individual site types are contained in separate, linked data layers.

Use Cases

• Classify geological sites by type (e.g., GSIGFEAT, MINSITE, STRUC) for thematic mapping.
• Filter site inventory for specific features like OUTCROP or BORES for field study planning.
• Join this summary layer with detailed PETPHYS or GEOPHYS layers using site identifiers for deeper analysis.

Strengths

• Covers multiple geological feature types (8 categories listed).
• Offers multiple geospatial file formats (9 formats including SHP, WFS, DWG).
• Data is current, with a last update in April 2026.

Limitations

• No row count or size metrics are provided to assess volume.
• The description explicitly states it lacks detailed information for the listed site types.
• Sample data and specific column schema are unavailable.
