Seven superficial geological units and 5 glacial lenses were modelled and volumes generated for each. The interpreted weathered top of the Sherwood Sandstone Group was modelled as a separate unit. The base of the Sherwood Sandstone Group represents the base of the model corresponding to an elevation of approximately -10 mOD. The geological model comprises the following units:
- Madeground (mgr)
- Alluvium (alv_1)
- Surface Peat (peat_1)
- Shirdley Hill Sand (ssa)
- Buried Peat (peat_4)
- Till (till_1)
- Glaciofluvial Ice‐Contact Deposits (gfic_b)
- Weathered Sherwood Sandstone Group (w_ssg)
- Sherwood Sandstone Group (ssg)
- Lens of Glacial Deposits (gfic_l13_t)
- Lens of Glacial Deposits (gfic_l14_t)
- Lens of Glacial Deposits (gfic_l101_t)
- Lens of Glacial Deposits (gfic_l102_t)
- Lens of Glacial Deposits (gfic_l103_t)
NB: The abbreviations in brackets after each unit correspond to named units within the geological model (Figure 2) and generalised vertical section (GVS) described further in this report.
