Abstract

This report describes the major new findings on, and significant revisions to, Hong Kong Geological Survey 1:20,000-scale Geological Map Sheet 11 – Hong Kong and Kowloon, undertaken between 2005 and 2006. The work was carried out by the Hong Kong Geological Survey Section of Planning Division as part of a programme continually to improve the reliability of the geological maps published by the Hong Kong Geological Survey. The updating exercise has taken into account the vast amount of new site-specific information, and advances in geological knowledge gained since the previously published map of 1987 was first surveyed. The map updating work for Sheet 11 has been implemented on a GIS platform using a standard GIS template, and the map has been made available for promulgation in ArcReader format.
