- Additional information
- The fence diagram has been frozen at the end of 2012, it is anticipated that it will be enhanced further in terms of detail and depth in future years. Probably updated annually and released as new versions. We recommend that this dataset should be used for General and geosciences education to illustrate of national and regional British bedrock geology (from the available download), Illustrating national or regional bedrock geology overviews for scientific publications for widespread and/or non specialist use and Regional GIS projects including the extents (x,y) of individual geological units (generated for GIS in GSI3D). We recommend that this dataset should not be used for Detailed geological assessments of any kind, e.g. borehole, site or linear route prognosis, resource-reserve estimation and exploration of any kind and any representation or use outside the intended regional to national (250K-1M) resolution.

- Statement
- The initial fence diagram build in 2009-10 was funded by the Environment Agency of England and Wales (EA). This phase of the development comprised 41 cross-sections with a total linear length of 5,500 km confined to England and Wales. In 2011 this initial network was extended to Scotland, and the earlier coverage was densified. Additional sections were also aligned along the coast to bound the coverage and provide the easily recognisable outline of Great Britain paving the way for offshore expansion of the model. Sections in northern Scotland were continued across the Minch to the Outer Hebrides and similarly to Orkney but at present Shetland has not been incorporated. In 2012, with further funding from the EA, a few additional sections were inserted into the framework for England and Wales, whilst others were extended in length or deepened in key sedimentary basins. This enhancement comprised part of a study to provide a risk screening tool for the EA to help them gauge possible impacts of shale gas extraction on aquifer security.
