The shrink–swell 3D data is a regional hazard susceptibility map that identifies areas of potential shrink–swell hazard in 3D at intervals down to 20 m in the London and Thames Valley area.
The BGS GeoSure 5 km hex grid datasets provide a generalised overview of the susceptibility to six naturally occurring geohazards in Great Britain.
This is a single data layer that identifies areas of potential shrink–swell hazard that are underneath another solid formation and therefore hidden from the surface.
The potential for running sand to be a hazard has been assessed using 1:50 000-scale digital maps of superficial and bedrock deposits.
BGS has produced 1:1 million-scale engineering geological maps of the UK, attributed with ‘engineering geological units’ in place of the traditional lithostratigraphical units.
