UKGEOS Glasgow superficial deposits pre-drill model

The UK Geoenergy Observatories (UKGEOS) Glasgow superficial deposits GSI3D model outputs, created by the British Geological Survey, provide a semi-regional overview of the depth, thickness and extent of glacial and post-glacial lithostratigraphic units above rockhead. The model allows users to visualise the likely subsurface sequence to be found beneath this part of Glasgow, applicable at a scale of around 1: 25,000 to 1: 10,000. The data is supplied as grids and shapefiles over a 7 by 4.15 km area, with the depth range to around 40 m below Ordnance Datum. This model describes an interpretation of the shallow geology before the UKGEOS Glasgow boreholes have been drilled, and was used to inform the expected sequence on drilling. Further details and model limitations can be found in the accompanying metadata report http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/524556

Statement
The model has been built using a standard BGS-GSI3D workflow where the geologist uses mapped extents and borehole data to interpret the 3D geometry of lithostratigraphic units via a number of intersecting cross-sections. The model presented in this report builds on previous superficial deposit models of the Glasgow area, developed in BGS since 2005. A number of reports have been published describing previous models of the area, including Merritt et al. (2009), Monaghan et al. (2012, 2014) and Arkley et al. (2013). This model incorporates additional borehole data to increase the model resolution in the vicinity of the UKGEOS borehole sites and incorporates any post-2005 borehole data more recently received by BGS than previous model versions.
