Mining hazard (not including coal) in Great Britain
The dataset indicates the potential for hazard in Great Britain as a result of mineral extraction. It excludes areas of Coal mining as these are covered by the Coal Authority. It is based on a simple A-E rating scale indicating the increasing likelihood of an underground mining hazard. The data was created using expert knowledge, detailed literature searches, local knowledge and a series of rule based geological constraints applied to the DigMapGB50k (Digital Geological Map of Great Britain) data.

- Statement
-
The data set is derived from a diverse range of material. It was constructed using GIS software via seven individual data layers each of which was created either from DigMap GB 50k bedrock data, information from literature and local and expert knowledge. The data is compiled into a series of individual data layers which undergo a series of GIS data processes before being combined and edited into a single final data layer. Information is then checked by geologists with detailed local knowledge.
