DiGMapPlus Resistivity v6

The DiGMap Plus dataset is a series of GIS layers describing the engineering, geochemical and geophysical properties of geological materials from the base of pedological soil down to c. 3m depth (ie the uppermost c.2m of geology). These deposits display a variable degree of weathering, but still exhibit core characteristics relating to their lithologies. The 'Resistivity' dataset covers England, Scotland and Wales and characterises the material resistivity (based on modelled distributions of clay and moisture content, to 2m depth.

Statement: Spatial data and primary keys are derived entirely from DiGMapGB50 v6 as modified by Parent Materials Map v6 surface file. All additional attribute content is derived from expert assessment of lexicon /memoir and engineering descriptions of rock/deposits as relating to field descriptions of materials (BS5930 and Eurocode7).
