A vector contour dataset models the depth in metres to the base of the Permo-Triassic rock layer in the Worcester and Cheshire basins. The data is derived from the 1995 British Geological Survey technical report WK/95/7 and the European Geothermal Atlas. It was last updated on the platform on 2026-04-09.
Use Cases
- Model geothermal resource potential based on the depth to the base Permian layer.
- Compare geological suitability between the Worcester and Cheshire basins based on the described geothermal viability.
- Integrate with other geological maps for regional energy planning based on the vector contour format.
Strengths
- Derived from authoritative sources including a British Geological Survey technical report and the European Geothermal Atlas.
- Focuses on basins considered viable for geothermal resources, providing targeted utility.
- Last platform update recorded as 2026-04-09 08:26:38.252720.
Limitations
- Row count, column definitions, and file formats are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- The dataset is described as 'legacy' and its temporal coverage is not specified.
