Valley and rock islands at Carlops. The telephone poles help emphasise the scale of the valley and serve as a useful analogue for the general spacing of ground-truth sites offshore, which often miss the variability of geological conditions. Offshore valleys formed by meltwater can be up to ten times larger than the one shown here, reaching several hundreds of metres in depth. BGS © UKRI.
