Title

Geophysical Borehole Log Index

Abstract

The Geophysical Borehole Log index provides details of hardcopy geophysical logs known to BGS. The index provides the storage location of the logs and details of the format they are available in, eg. paper, at a scale of 1:200. The data is updated when new data becomes available. Contains most geophysically logged bores known to BGS National Geological Records Centre. Scattered distribution of boreholes, locally dense coverage, few logs from Scotland.

Additional information source

The data is updated when new data becomes available. Contains most geophysically logged bores known to BGS NGRC. Few logs from Scotland. Scattered distribution of boreholes - locally dense coverage. Inconsistent, dependent on the quality of the data on the borehole log header sheets. PUBLICATION: GEOPHYSICAL BOREHOLE LOG DATABASE BGS TECHNICAL REPORT
