Structure Of The Bedrock

The data comprises information on the subsurface structure of stratigraphic levels and units in the United Kingdom, detailing depth to and thickness of the units. These result from projects in different parts of the UK performed at different times. Common working scales are 1:50 000 and 1:250 000 with appropriate differences in detail. Much mapping results from interpretation of seismic data, and as a result many of the structural maps are in time rather than depth, although some have been depth converted.

Supplemental Information
Old analogue maps being digitised. New maps generated digitally. The updating has been on an ad hoc basis as required by projects. Variable coverage of the UK subsurface, differant stratigraphic levels. Not all datasets will be available due to confidentiality restrictions. The level of spatial detail is variable, may be on a grid basis of say 1 value every 250m, alternatively data may only be recorded along contour lines.
