Statement

GeoClimate combines current GB subsidence hazard susceptibility, a GB groundwater model and climate change projections, to project future subsidence hazard. Expert BGS Geological Engineers, Groundwater Geologists and GIS specialists collaborated to generate a robust methodology. The datasets utilised and combined in GeoClimate are: -BGS GeoSure shrink-swell: BGS GB dataset providing geological information on potential clay shrink-swell, providing 5 classes from Hazard Rating A (pre-dominantly non-plastic ground conditions) to Hazard Rating E (predominantly very high plasticity ground conditions) -Zooming Object Oriented Distributed Recharge (ZOODRM) model: Provides gridded daily soil moisture deficit (SMD) values for UK, based on inputted rainfall and surface values. -11 RCM UKCP09 climate models: UKCP09 medium emissions scenario was used to force the 11 Regional Climate Model simulations, providing absolute values to input into GeoClimate. The values provided are continuous daily projections from 1950 to 2099. These datasets are used to produce a GeoClimate Volume Change Potential (VCP) score, which is based on the: -A Days in Drought (DiD) value, calculated from the ZOODRM groundwater model and 11RCM projections, -Modified Plasticity Index (IP') values, extracted from the BGS GeoSure Shrink-Swell layer.
