Supplemental Information

Data capture 1989-1997. The collection of data is complete as far as possible. Some data on obscure media or unknown formats may be obtained from their original format some later stage. The digital data from most of geophysical logs and surveys carried out by Nirex are held by the BGS. A few tapes, in unknown formats or are un-readable, have been retained. The remainder have deen copied onto DLT tapes for long term storage.
