Statement

The offshore bedrock geology was mapped using a range of remotely sensed (e.g. seismic, bathymetry) and physical ground truthing data (e.g. rock drills, cores ). This mapping was first published in printed form on the bedrock offshore 1:250 000 map series (Universal Transverse Mercator projection series maps, each sheet covering an area of 1 degree of latitude by 2 degrees of longitude; still available via the BGS Bookshop). The geological linework used to create the paper maps was used as the basis for the first version of the DiGRock250k digital map. This digital map has been put through a further checking and updating cycle in 2013 to produce the newly released DiGRock250k.
