Subregions To present the conclusions of our work in a concise and accessible way, we have divided Wales into 6 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 boundaries between subregions may locally coincide with the extent of a particular Rock Type of Interest, or may correspond to discrete features such as faults.

  • Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from Gravity Survey and Structural Inversion

Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from gravity survey and structural inversion Rob Westaway 1,*, Sean M. Watson 1, Aaron Williams 1, Tom L. Harley 2, and Richard Middlemiss 3 1 James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, James Watt (South) Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. 2 WSP, 70 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1AF, UK. 3 School of Physics, University of Glasgow, Kelvin Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. * Correspondence: [email protected]; Abstract: The Butterknowle Fault is a major normal fault of Dinantian age in northern England, bounding the Stainmore Basin and the Alston Block. This fault zone has been proposed as a source of deep geothermal energy; to facilitate the design of a geothermal project in the town of Bishop Auckland further investigation of its geometry was necessary and led to the present study. We show using three-dimensional modelling of a dense local gravity survey, combined with structural inversion, that this fault has a ramp-flat-ramp geometry, ~250 m of latest Carboniferous / Early Permian downthrow having occurred on a fault surface that is not a planar updip continuation of that which had accommodated the many kilometres of Dinantian extension. The gravity survey also reveals relatively low-density sediments in the hanging-wall of the Dinantian fault, interpreted as porous alluvial fan deposits, indicating that a favourable geothermal target indeed exists in the area.

  • STRATEGIC STONE STUDY a Building Stone Atlas of Lancashire
    STRATEGIC STONE STUDY A Building Stone Atlas of Lancashire Published December 2011 Derived from BGS digital geological mapping at 1:625,000 scale, British Geological Survey © Lancashire Bedrock Geology NERC. All rights reserved Click on this link to visit Lancashire’s geology and its contribution to known building stones, stone structures and building stone quarries (Opens in new window http://maps.bgs.ac.uk/buildingstone?County=Lancashire ) Lancashire Strategic Stone Study 1 Introduction The bedrock geology of Lancashire is dominated by fine to very coarse-grained SANDSTONES of Carboniferous and, to a lesser extent, Permo-Triassic age. There are, in addition, locally important outcrops of LIMESTONE. The Carboniferous rocks occupy a broad swathe of the east of the county, wrapping around a Triassic ‘core’ in the lowlands of the west, which is largely buried under thick accumulations of glacial till (Quaternary). The competence of the Carboniferous sandstones is reflected in the rugged moorland of east Lancashire, which in turn is reflected in the ‘sturdy’ character of the built landscape. The limestones present in northern Lancashire and around Clitheroe bring a lighter ‘openness’ to the villages of these areas. Lowland Lancashire, meanwhile, is primarily brick country, with the exception of some Triassic sandstone pockets around Ormskirk and Heysham. The widespread availability of durable building stone led to the development of quarrying throughout central and eastern Lancashire, with Rossendale (during the 1870s) exporting vast amounts of building stone to other areas of Britain and also abroad. Only a small number of quarries produce building stone today, with most of the industry now focussing on the supply of crushed stone products.
