Research activities
In addition to the national capability of geochemical mapping, the G–BASE project and team are involved in numerous activities and research that relate to the collection of geochemical samples, the use of geochemical baseline data and the interpretation of those as part of a wide range of geoscientific and environmental studies. Table below lists recent research activities in relation to the G–BASE project.
