Sherwood Sandstone Group Isopach Map for UK Permo-Triassic Basins

A modelled thickness map in metres of the Sherwood Sandstone Group in the Permo-Triassic Cheshire, Worcester, Wessex and East Yorkshire-Lincolnshire basins. The dataset 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 aquifer thickness.
• Conduct regional geological analysis based on the Permo-Triassic basin structure.
• Integrate with other subsurface datasets for energy exploration planning.

Strengths

• Derived from authoritative sources including a British Geological Survey technical report.
• Focuses on specific geological units (Sherwood Sandstone Group) in named UK basins.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is based on a 1995 report; geological interpretations may have been updated since.
