Legacy BGS geothermal models: isopach map for the early Carboniferous limestone (hot sedimentary aquifers) in northern and southern England

This dataset represents the thickness in metres of the early Carboniferous limestone (ECL) over the Northern and Southern Provinces in Great Britain. The layer may be used to identify prospective geothermal heat resources, such as areas with deep burial depths beneath thick Permian-Mesozoic sequences, as in the Cheshire Basin, and the flanks of the East Irish Sea and Southern North Sea basins; or beneath thick later Carboniferous strata, as in the Stoke-on-Trent area.
