Depth to Base Sherwood Sandstone Group in Cheshire and Worcester Basins

A vector contour dataset models the depth in meters to the base of the Sherwood Sandstone Group in the Permo-Triassic Cheshire and Worcester 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 in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Model geothermal resource potential based on depth to the base of the Sherwood Sandstone Group.
• Analyze subsurface geology for basin-scale studies based on the vector contour data.
• Integrate with other geological layers for regional energy planning based on the Permo-Triassic basin focus.

Strengths

• Derived from authoritative sources including a British Geological Survey technical report.
• Focuses on a specific geological feature (Sherwood Sandstone Group) for geothermal assessment.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified; the underlying source report is from 1995.
