Statement

The models were constructed using GSI3D, Groundhog Desktop and SKUA-GOCAD (or a mixture of these software packages). Data were harvested from BGS borehole databases (Borehole Geology and Stratigraphic Surfaces Database). Other data include 1:10 000 and 1:50 000 geological maps (as baselines and polygons), OS topographic maps, data from literature (e.g. contour plots) and map sheets (e.g. cross-sections). Each model is accompanied by a metadata report describing the input data, model specifications, geological characterisation and limitations. Each model (including the input data) undergoes a quality assurance check (Gow, H.; Monaghan, A.; Thorpe, S.; Terrington, R.. 2013 Model approval data management : NGM. Nottingham, UK, British Geological Survey, 10pp. (OR/13/035)).
