Bedrock
The Bedrock Mapping Programme's main work at present is compilation of the new 1:50,000 Bedrock GIS Map Series. In addition the Programme provides assistance to customers on aspects of bedrock geology, and maintains databases such as the Palaeontological Collections and Borehole Databases.
A massive part of our workload over the last several years was the completion of the 1:100,000 Bedrock Geology Series. For further information on this series and a historical summary of the Programme's mapping endeavours please click here.
