National Soil-Parent Material
The National Soil Parent Material dataset is a GIS describing the geological material from which topsoils and subsoils (A and B horizons) develop (i.e. from the base of pedological soil down to c. 3m). These deposits display a variable degree of weathering, but still exhibit core geological characteristics relating to their lithologies. The dataset covers England, Scotland and Wales and characterises parent material lithology, texture, mineralogy, strength and a range of other soil/parent related properties.

-
Spatial data and primary keys are derived entirely from DiGMapGB-50V6 surface file. All additional attribute content is derived from expert assessment of lexicon /memoir and engineering descriptions of rock/deposits. The 1km version of the dataset utilises a vector grid overlay derived from National Grid coordinated.
