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.
