GeoSure Slope Instability Assessment for Great Britain

British Geological Survey data provides a national assessment of slope instability and landslide hazard across Great Britain. The methodology combines BGS DiGMap geological data with expert knowledge of formation behavior to evaluate factors like geology, gradient, and drainage.

Use Cases

• Model landslide hazard by analyzing the interaction of slope characteristics such as geology and gradient
• Inform planning decisions by assessing potential ground movement and subsidence causes
• Evaluate risk to infrastructure from downslope material movement like landslides or rockfalls

Strengths

• Provides complete national coverage for Great Britain
• Methodology based on authoritative BGS DiGMap data and expert geological knowledge

Limitations

• Data format is primarily ESRI and MapInfo, which may require specific GIS software for use
• No sample data or column schema is provided to assess the data structure before download
