Hazard zone data for clay soil dewatering and swelling phenomena in Haute-Saône, France. The dataset was updated in 2019 by the French Geological Survey (BRGM) based on a public study report. It includes shapefiles positioning hazard zones for geological risks.
Use Cases
- Modeling ground deformation risk based on described clay soil dewatering phenomena.
- Assessing drought impact on soil stability using the hazard zone data.
- Planning infrastructure projects by identifying areas prone to soil swelling or creep.
- Validating geological risk models with the BRGM's official hazard zone positioning.
Strengths
- Data originates from the French Geological Survey (BRGM), an authoritative institution.
- Hazard zones are provided in shapefile format, a standard for geospatial analysis.
- The dataset was updated in 2019, providing a specific temporal snapshot.
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.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
