Geologic Mapping
During geologic mapping, a geologist will systematically map an area looking for rock outcrops. The
geologist will analyze each outcrop recording data including rock type and structural geology as well as
taking samples for geochemical analysis.
A geology mapping program may be conducted at the same time as a soil sampling program. More
detailed mapping of smaller areas, i.e. individual outcrops or a few hundreds of meters square may be
undertaken if an area of interest is found.
