UKGEOS Glasgow post-drill superficial deposits model

The UK Geoenergy Observatories (UKGEOS) Glasgow superficial deposits GSI3D model outputs, created by the British Geological Survey, provide a semi-regional overview of the depth, thickness and extent of glacial and post-glacial lithostratigraphic units above rockhead. The model allows users to visualise the likely subsurface sequence to be found beneath this part of Glasgow, applicable at a scale of around 1: 25,000 to 1: 10,000. The data is supplied as grids and shapefiles over a 7 by 4.15 km area, with the depth range to around 40 m below Ordnance Datum. This model describes an interpretation of the shallow geology updated to incorporate the results of drilling the 12 UKGEOS Glasgow boreholes (post-drill model).

Statement: The model was built using a standard BGS-GSI3D workflow - the geologist uses mapped extents and borehole data to interpret the 3D geometry of lithostratigraphic units via intersecting cross-sections. The model presented builds on previous superficial deposit models of the Glasgow area, developed in BGS since 2005 including Merritt et al. (2009), Monaghan et al. (2012, 2014) and Arkley et al. (2013). The pre-drill UKGEOS model then incorporated additional borehole data to increase the model resolution in the vicinity of the UKGEOS borehole sites and incorporated borehole data more received by BGS between 2005-2018. This post-drill model includes, in addition, the results of the twelve UKGEOS Glasgow boreholes and has been through the National Geological Model approval process.
