Fell Sandstone Formation Thickness Map for the Northumberland-Solway Basin

A legacy British Geological Survey model provides the thickness in metres of the Carboniferous Fell Sandstone Formation in the Northumberland-Solway Basin. This data is intended for assessing hot sedimentary aquifer resources. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-09.

Use Cases

• Model geothermal reservoir potential based on formation thickness data.
• Analyze subsurface structure for the Mid Border Group based on isopach maps.
• Assess hot sedimentary aquifer resources in the Northumberland-Solway Basin.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative British Geological Survey (BGS).
• Specifically models the thickness of the Fell Sandstone Formation for geothermal assessment.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
