The BGS information management (geology) project populates and maintains a number of key geological databases and other information systems.
BGS is engaged in surveying the country for former mineral sites due to their importance for planning purposes and as potential sources of currently scarce resources such as building stone, in addition to hazard checking.
The Gault Formation was deposited in the Cretaceous and crops out from East Anglia to west Dorset, and from north-east Kent to Sussex.
