Mapping the elements
The
British Geological Survey
have beeen
mapping the chemistry of Britain's geology
using a technique called geochemical sampling. By
taking samples of soil, sediment and stream water
elements from the bedrock can be measured and mapped. The BGS have been doing this for 40 years and have just finished.
The results from this research (called
G-BASE
) show an interesting pattern that does reveal some interesting patterns and could show the location of hidden geological resources.
