Title

2009 Defra MB0102 2A Erosional Fluvio Glacial Features layer

Abstract

Erosional fluvio glacial features located within UK Territorial and Offshore waters. Obtained from the digitization of georeferenced maps and images collated from multiple sources including academic journals and British Geological Survey reports. This dataset is associated with a series of digital maps/spatial information layers that are designed to help identify Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) in UK waters. (see Project MB0102: Accessing and developing the required biophysical datasets and datalayers for Marine Protected Areas network planning and wider marine spatial planning purposes Report No8, Task 2a Mapping of Geological and Geomorphological Features)
