| Short description: |
The Geochemical Baseline Survey of the Environment (G-BASE) is one of the BGS's major science budget funded projects and has an annual campaign of geochemical sampling in many parts of the UK.
Its core function is to provide a national capability in baseline geochemical mapping.
Beginning in the late 1960s, the primary focus was mineral exploration, however the project has now evolved into a multi-media, high-resolution geochemical survey producing baseline data relevant to many environmental issues. G-BASE.
