OR/13/053 GIS construction

Woods, M A, Haslam, R B, Mee, K, Newell, A J, and Terrington, R L. 2013. A guide to a new Geographical Information System for the Chalk of the Thames Basin: The Thames Chalk Information System (TCIS). (FutureThames cross-cutting Programme). British Geological Survey Internal Report, OR/13/053.

The Thames Chalk Information System (TCIS) has been created in ArcGIS version 10.0 and can be accessed here:
W:\Teams\SCCP\ThamesBasin\Data\Thames_Chalk_Information_System\GIS\Thames_Chalk_I nformation_GIS.mxd

For the purposes of the TCIS, each dataset has been clipped to the FutureThames project boundary (formerly the Thames Basin Cross-Cutting Project), with the exception of the fault layers, which have been included if they are within or overlap with the project boundary, but have not been clipped. It is important to emphasise that many of the datasets included in the TCIS extend beyond the FutureThames boundary. A GIS containing the pre-clipped data can be found here:
W:\Teams\SCCP\ThamesBasin\Data\Thames_Chalk_Information_System\GIS\Thames_Chalk_I nformation_GIS_before_cuts.mxd

The FutureThames project boundary represents the catchment of the River Thames and the Thames Estuary and was defined at the start of the Thames Basin Cross-Cutting Project and hence has been selected as the project boundary for the TCIS.

All of the clipped TCIS layers (shapefiles and raster datasets) can be found in the following geodatabase, for users who wish to incorporate any of the data into their own projects:
W:\Teams\SCCP\ThamesBasin\Data\Thames_Chalk_Information_System\GIS\All_clipped_laye rs.gdb

ArcGIS layer files (which maintain the symbology created in the TCIS) of all the data within the TCIS, can be found here:
