Depth to Base of Fell Sandstone Formation in the Northumberland-Solway Basin

Legacy British Geological Survey models detail the depth in metres to the base of the Carboniferous Fell Sandstone Formation. This vector contour dataset focuses on the Northumberland-Solway Basin, a region assessed for hot sedimentary aquifer resources. The data was last updated on 2026-04-09.

Use Cases

• Model geothermal potential based on depth to the Fell Sandstone Formation.
• Analyze subsurface structure for hot sedimentary aquifer resources in the specified basin.
• Integrate geological contour data with other subsurface models for regional assessment.

Strengths

• Produced by the authoritative British Geological Survey (BGS).
• Provides specific depth measurements for a defined geological formation and basin.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file format are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
