FOREGS - geochemical atlas of Europe

a Eurogeosurveys led project on mapping the geochemistry of Europe. This aims to establish a global geochemical reference baseline for more than 60 determinants in a range of media for environmental and other applications. The European contribution to the programme has been carried out by government institutions from 26 countries under the auspices of the Forum of European Geological Surveys (FOREGS) The main objectives of this European survey were: 1) to apply standardised methods of sampling, chemical analysis and data management to prepare a geochemical baseline across Europe; and 2) to use this reference network to level national baseline datasets.

Samples of stream water, stream sediment and three types of soil (organic top layer, minerogenic top and sub soil) have been collected at nearly 900 stations, each representing a catchment area of 100 km2, corresponding to a sampling density of about one sample per 4700 km2. In addition, the uppermost 25 cm of floodplain sediment was sampled from 750 sites each representing a catchment area of 1000 km2.
