Statement

The model is derived by direct modelling (natural neighbour interpolation) of BGS Borehole records and BGS digital geological map data of Great Britain. For the purposes of modelling, superficial deposits include sediments deposited during the Quaternary, subsequent Holocene rivers and coastal systems and also modern anthropogenic material. All grids have been compiled to the same written standard using the same software, see report "Generation of Superficial Deposits Thickness Models and Rockhead contours for Great Britain"
