- W1901599043 abstract "Recent issues of Geoscientist have devoted many column inches to the need for geologicalmapping skills, and more recently, Desmond Donovan has questioned whether new geologicalmapping is needed in the UK at all.If the process of mapping is simply to replace an existing geological map with a new one,showing more faults and more detailed stratigraphy, we'd be inclined to agree. However the skillcommonly described as ‘geological mapping’ is really about acquiring and communicating aspatially constrained 3D understanding of the properties and structure of the geosphere, usingall the field observations, subsurface data and skills at our disposal.It is also all about understanding the events and environments of the geological past as well asthose operating now and in the future, which will help us manage resources, hazards andenvironmental change. It is about mapping and understanding the impacts we are having andtheir interactions with the landscape, the atmosphere and oceans, especially in cities.Most importantly of all, it is about working with the users of geological knowledge to ensurethe delivery of environmental and economic benefits. The needs and priorities for geologicalmapping are driven not by a simple peer-group assessment of the quality and accuracy ofexisting maps, but by the gap between what we know, and what we need to know, ascommunicated by our clients, stakeholders and taxpayers. Those needs continue to change, sothe law of diminishing returns does not apply.In this form, geological mapping is alive and well as a skill and priority activity in BGS.We continue to recruit geologists into our onshore survey, marine, groundwater, energy andinternational programmes, and candidates with 'mapping' skills remain at a considerableadvantage in those recruitment competitions. Computers cannot replace those skills, butthey are wonderful tools for assembling and analysing multidisciplinary data sets andcommunicating the results of 'mapping' as maps, models and a plethora of online services,products and apps. It is true that BGS is winding down its production of traditional, lithoprintedgeological maps, but this is simply because there are now alternative and increasingly diversetechnologies for delivering the results of geological mapping and ensuring that the outcomesmeet society's needs.As we approach the 200th anniversary of William Smith's great map, to be celebrated by theSociety in 2015, it is fitting to remember that Smith was driven by the needs of the industrialrevolution. The map was the best technology at his disposal, not an end in itself." @default.
