The concentrations of up to 30 trace elements in approximately 9,000 sea-bed samples from the UK Continental Shelf were determined by BGS using a variety of analytical techniques. In some cases samples were tested using more than one method. The analyses were carried out on freeze-dried samples of the sand and mud fractions of the samples. The data are stored as part of the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC) and the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) Data Archive Centre (DAC) for...
Results of particle size analysis (PSA) performed on approximately 29,000 seabed sediment samples collected by BGS from the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) and adjacent deep water areas, mostly using sediment grabs, but also sediment corers on occasions. Measurements were also made on approximately 8,000 downhole sub-samples from shallow cores and boreholes. Data from other UK organisations have also been added to this PSA dataset. The data are held within the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC) as the Mari...
Annual maximum groundwater temperature.
Mean measured groundwater temperature based on surveys.
Measured electrical conductivity of the groundwater at a defined depth interval or for a single point in depth.
The depth above or below sea level at which the surface of groundwater stands.
The elevation above or below sea level at which the surface of groundwater stands
Observed groundwater temperature at a defined depth interval or for a single point.
The measured temperature below ground level changes as a function of depth.
Iso-content maps of Mercury (Hg), one of the chemical elements.obtained in the Geochemical Atlas of Spain Project, distributed in stream sediments (14,864 samples), superficial soils (0-20 cm.) (13,505 samples) and deeper soils (20-40 cm.) (7,682 samples). The results of the chemical analysis are shown in two types: total dissolution of the sample with 4 acids and partial dissolution with aqua regia. With the analytical results of all the sampled points, an isocontent map is made with adjustment to a squar...
