Cardiff City Regional Model

Geological model comprising artificial ground and superficial deposits in the city of Cardiff. Undifferentiated bedrock is included beneath the superficial deposits. This model provides a geological framework model and calculated surfaces for the superficial deposits for the city of Cardiff, principally Till, Glaciofluvial deposits, Alluvium and Tidal Flat Deposits.

Metadata report for the Cardiff superficial deposits 3D geological model - The objective of this work was to assemble a geological framework model and calculated surfaces for the superficial deposits for the city of Cardiff.
BGS Datasets - BGS LithoFrame - BGS LithoFrame models provide 3D geological characterisation for parts of the onshore and offshore UK at a range of scales. They present framework geological interpretation consistent with the stratigraphic framing schemes and scales used in BGS geological maps.
GeoIndex Onshore: Interactive Models - Through the GeoIndex platform users can create geological cross-sections, synthetic boreholes and horizontal slices through the 3D models.
