Data Quality
Fault maps were developed as part of the assessment of the geothermal resources of Permo-Triassic basins in England, published by Rollin, K. E., G. A. Kirby, and W. J. Rowley. Atlas of geothermal resources in Europe: UK revision. British Geological Survey, Regional Geophysics Group, 1995. Interpretations included from relevant horizons taken from the Atlas on Onshore Sedimentary Basins (Whittaker et al., 1985) and revised where new data had become available since their production (e.g. detailed seismic interpretations) were used to provide and refine the main geological and structural models.
