The FOREGS Geochemistry Task Group 1994-1996

The Forum of European Geological Surveys (FOREGS) includes geological surveys from 33 European countries and is responsible for co-ordinating geological survey activities in Europe. The FOREGS Geochemistry Task Group was established in 1994 as part of the programme, to supervise European geochemical mapping policy following the recommendations of IGCP Project 259 ‘International Geochemical Mapping’. The task group comprises representatives from five countries charged initially with the compilation of an inventory of geochemical data within FOREGS countries.
