Tellus South West project is a collaborative, environmental survey and research project funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and carried out by a partnership of the British Geological Survey (BGS), the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the University of Exeter Camborne School of Mines. The multidisciplinary data collected will be managed by the NERC data centres at BGS and CEH. The following data for the south-west region will be delivered by the project. airborne magnetic and airborne radiometric survey (available now) soil and stream sediment geochemistry (G-BASE) (coming soon) airborne LiDAR survey: DTM and DSM (available now) habitat surveys (coming soon) multispectral and thermal imaging, Tamar Valley (available 2015)

- Statement
- Data generated from the analyses of stream sediment and soil samples, by XRFS (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry), collected during 2012 and 2013. Data quality control and conditioning procedures carried out in accordance with adopted and documented G-BASE protocol. 'G-BASE data conditioning procedures for stream sediment and soil chemical analyses' BGS Internal Report IR/05/150. Following the data QC process, all analytical data are loaded to the corporate Geochemistry Database. Digital geochemical images were generated in ArcGIS 10.1 using an Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) interpolation algorithm with a cell size of 500m and a variable search radius with a maximum proximity distance of up to 10000m. Detailed Information on sampling and analytical methods are provided in the following published geochemical atlas: Regional geochemistry of Wales and west-central England: stream sediment and soil. Keyworth, Nottingham. British Geological Survey (2000). ISBN 0 85272 378 4.
