Statement

Sedimentary and discontinuity logging was undertaken by BGS geologists working on the collected core in conjunction with the digital wireline geophysics and core scanning data. Sedimentary logging was undertaken to the standards set out in: Tucker, M.E. 1996. Sedimentary Rocks in the Field, 2nd edition. The Geological Field Guide Series. John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The facies scheme was taken from: Miall, A.D. 2014. The Facies and Architecture of Fluvial Systems, in Miall, R., ed., Fluvial Depositional Systems. Springer International Publishing. PP 9 – 68. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-00666-6. Discontinuity logging was based on the standards set out in: International society for rock mechanics commission on standardization of laboratory and field tests: Suggested methods for the quantitative description of discontinuities in rock masses, International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, Volume 15, Issue 6, 1978, Pages 319-368, https://doi.org/10.1016/0148-9062 (78)91472-9. Digital wireline data were collected on behalf of BGS by an external contractor, and have been appraised and processed by BGS. ASCII LAS files have been standardised by BGS. Metadata relating to the borehole, including accurate borehole locations and datum measurements, were collected on-site using standard techniques.
