Using SIGÉOM: geology maps, drilling data and EXAMINE reports
Find geoscientific data, choose a format and document their scope before reuse.
A public geological map does not replace a professional study specific to a site or project.
Select the data
SIGÉOM includes geology, geochemistry, geophysics and drilling data. Define the area and information needed rather than downloading everything without a clear purpose. [1]
Find source documents
Use EXAMINE to find associated reports. Connect mapped observations to the document describing them and record its reference before using them in a file. [1]
Choose an access method
The guides explain the tools and datasets. Choose the interactive map for exploration, or downloads and map services when the work requires integration. [2]
Preserve context
Record the layer, area examined and extraction date in your notes. Review tool documentation before comparing observations from different datasets. [2]
