Statement

Following the initial determinations of the CHANGE model, based on the ZOODRM (zoom object-oriented distributed recharge model) and Future Flows 11RCM (Regional Climate Models) data, and the initial assessment of the shrink-swell susceptible areas, based on the GeoSure Shrink-Swell layer, a new GeoClimate rating for shrink-swell susceptibility was devised. This new rating was based on the Modified Plasticity Index (IP') values, from the BGS GeoSure Shrink-Swell layer, combined with the Days in Drought (DiD) values, from the ZOODRM and Future Flows 11RCM data. DiD grids were calculated for three different climatic scenarios for the years 2020, 2030, 2040, 2050 and 2080. Each of these grids was combined with the Shrink-Swell layer to produce a revised Volume Change Potential (VCP) score for the UK. All processing was done within ArcGIS.
