  • Chapter 2 Physical Characteristics of the Study Area
    CHAPTER 2 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STUDY AREA 2.1. Location of study area The study area incorporates part of north Hertfordshire, south and mid- Bedfordshire as well as the southwest corner of Cambridgeshire and lies approximately 40 km north of London (Figure 1.1). Coverage of the area by British Geological Survey (BGS) 1:50,000 map sheets is shown in Figure 2.1. 2.2. Bedrock geology The strikes of the solid geological formations are approximately northeast- southwest across the study area (Figure 2.2). The solid geological succession is shown in Table 2.1. To the northwest of the Chiltern Hills the Gault Clay forms a rich agricultural landscape, representing a continuation of the Vale of Aylesbury. Beyond this, running approximately from Bow Brickhill (SP915343) to Gamlingay (TL234525) is a discontinuous ridge formed by the Woburn Sands Formation, part of the Lower Greensand. This prominent ‘Greensand Ridge’, rising to 170 m O.D. at Bow Brickhill, separates the Cretaceous clays from the Jurassic Oxford and Ampthill Clays to the northwest. The oldest formation is recorded in a borehole (TL23NE1) at Ashwell (TL286390), where Devonian strata were reached at a depth of 186.54 m, i.e. 93 m below O.D. (Smith, 1992). Lying just beyond the northern boundary of the present study area, north of the River Ouse, a borehole (TL15NE2) at Wyboston (TL175572) penetrated Ordovician rocks of Tremadoc age at a depth of approximately 230 m (Moorlock et al ., 2003). The Oxford Clay of the Upper Jurassic represents the oldest formation outcropping within the study area.

Subregions To present the conclusions of our work in a concise and accessible way, we have divided the region into 3 subregions (see Figure 1 below). We have selected subregions with broadly similar geological attributes relevant to the safety of a GDF, although there is still considerable variability in each subregion.

  • The Mapping of Landscapes, Geology and Soils of Bedfordshire
    We use the words landscape and landform to refer to natural (not man-made) features visible on the surface of the Earth. The word landscape is used for larger areas of varied topography, whereas the The Mapping of Landscapes, Geology and word landform is used for smaller features that occur within landscapes, and can often be readily seen to have resulted from the local action of particular surface processes (for example, slope failure or Soils of Bedfordshire & Cambridgeshire river erosion). In this study we present a group of regional landscape maps (Maps 1-4), and a group of more local maps (Maps 5-8) on a larger scale, where landforms are more easily distinguished. Our work has been part-funded by Natural England and facilitated by Geo-East, the East of England Geodiversity Partnership. Landscapes and their component landforms have formed during the long-term geological history of an area, and may have been influenced by many factors. These include, a) the materials present just below the Earth’s surface, b) movements of the Earth’s land or sea surface, and c) the action of ice, rain, wind and living organisms. This study has been concerned particularly with ways of analysing and presenting topographical information, so that members of the general public can gain new insights into the stories that have resulted in their landscapes and landforms. Maps are routinely used to represent landscapes and landforms, and we have wanted to experiment with the ways that computer-based Geographical Information System (GIS) software, using the digital regional datasets now available, has transformed our ability to provide vivid representations of our surroundings.
