Data capture was carried out for a large part of the GeoUrban area, sheet 50 (according to the OSi Discovery 1:50,000 series).
Aurum Exploration Services Ltd. were contracted to to assist the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) in the ongoing development of the Bedrock 1:50,000 scale Map Series in relation to the Geo-Urban project.
The primary objectives of this work included georeferencing mainly 6 inch maps (see images, right) to the OSi 1:50,000 base, checking the location and shape of bedrock outcrops on the GSI's existing outcrop map with respect to 6 inch field maps, making corrections where necessary and fitting 1:100,000 structural and stratigraphical linework with respect to the 1:50,000 base map. |
