Description
Linear geological features represent seven classes of structural features and landforms, such as faults, folds, and glacial channels. The data is at 1:10,000 scale with partial onshore coverage of approximately 30% of England, Scotland, and Wales. It is produced by the British Geological Survey and is available in vector format under a BGS data licence.
Use Cases
Map subsurface fault networks based on the fault and dyke features.
Analyze glacial landscape history based on landform features like drumlins and eskers.
Model stratigraphic correlation based on fossil horizon and rock marker bed features.
Identify areas of geological alteration for resource exploration based on alteration area features.
Strengths
Data is at a detailed 1:10,000 mapping scale.
Features are organized into seven distinct geological categories, including faults, folds, and landforms.
Coverage includes approximately 30% of onshore Great Britain.
Limitations
Onshore coverage is partial, not complete for Great Britain.
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
