Geohazard Assessment of Running Sand Deposits by British Geological Survey

British Geological Survey data provides an assessment of geological deposits for potential running sand behavior under flowing water. The methodology is based on BGS digital stratigraphic linework and expert knowledge of defined formations.

Use Cases

• Map running sand hazard potential using BGS digital stratigraphic linework for land-use planning.
• Analyze geological formation behavior for susceptibility to saturated sand and silt liquefaction.
• Integrate expert knowledge assessments of formations with spatial hazard models.

Strengths

• Produced by the authoritative British Geological Survey (BGS).
• Methodology is based on expert knowledge of defined geological formations.

Limitations

• The dataset is described as 'No longer exists - now part of GeoSure', indicating it may be deprecated or superseded.
• Key metadata such as row count, column details, and file formats are unknown.
