Table 1: Geological units modelled
The onshore geology is based on the BGS 625 000 geological map. The offshore geology is based on the BGS 250 000 map. All units are labelled with BGS LEX-RCS codes, see Figures 2 and 3.
Geological units modelled are as used in the GB_3D sections on which the model is based. Offshore units were merged into their onshore equivalents, as shown in Table 1.
