Statement

This dataset is derived from both new and legacy data. The legacy data is sourced from four published report versions (1978-1987) of the UK geothermal catalogue and their component reports. Most of the new data are derived from three sources: - New thermal conductivity data collected by the BGS Thermal Conductivity Lab - Datasets synthesised in BGS publications on heat pumps and for subsurface temperature maps - Bottom hole temperature dataset compiled by the UK Onshore Geophysical Library The second digital release contains data that has an identified data source, been spatially located and IPR checked, before releasing under Open Government Licence V3. Validation of the IPR and copyright status of the incorporated datasets was challenging and a take down policy is in operation. More information is available in the accompanying report https://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/541614
