Supplemental Information

Regional geochemical Mapping commenced in the Caithness and South Orkney area carried out by the Institute of Geological Sciences (IGS -now BGS). Projected completion by 2015 Complete for Scotland, Wales, West Midlands, Northern England, Humber-Trent, Central England and East Anglia. Southern England ongoing. Soil samples average 1 per 2km square, sediment samples average 1 per 1.75 km square collected using 1:50 000 OS base maps. Geochemical mapping carried out according to International Geochemical Sampling methods described by IGCP 259.
