Laboratory results from the Geochemical Baseline Survey of the Environment (G-BASE) program, initiated in 1968. The data includes processed chemical analyses of stream sediments, soil, and water samples collected for high-resolution mapping across mainland Britain.
Use Cases
- Analyze contamination levels in water samples across different British regions
- Map geochemical baseline concentrations in soil and stream sediments for environmental studies
- Use processed G-BASE data to create seamless geochemical images for geological research
Strengths
- Data collection began in 1968, providing a long-term baseline
- Results undergo a high level of laboratory quality control
- Includes value-added G-BASE data from the British Geological Survey database
Limitations
- Specific sample count, column details, and file formats are unknown
- Data may have spatial bias based on the progression of the sampling program from northern Scotland
