UK Geothermal Temperature Map at 100 Meters Depth

A vector contour dataset representing the calculated, estimated temperature distribution at 100 m depth across the United Kingdom. The method is described in the 2009 paper 'Initial geological considerations before installing ground source heat pump systems' by Busby et al., published by the Geological Society of London. The dataset is provided by the British Geological Survey and was last updated on the platform in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Model geothermal energy potential based on the estimated temperature distribution.
• Plan ground source heat pump system installations based on subsurface temperature data.
• Conduct regional geological analysis based on the temperature contour map.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a published scientific method from 2009.
• Spatial coverage is explicitly for the United Kingdom.
• Last platform update was recorded as 2026-04-09.

Limitations

• Row count, file formats, and column definitions are unknown.
• The underlying data's temporal coverage and freshness are not specified.
• License and author information are unavailable.
