OR/14/058 Modelled volume, purpose and scale

Summary

These articles describe the model of faulted bedrock of the Lower Cretaceous to Lower Devonian sedimentary sequence found within the Great Glen corridor, including the upper reaches of the Moray Firth, (Figure 1).

Modelled volume, purpose and scale

The model was based initially on sections drawn for the GB_3D to test and develop GSI3D’s bedrock capabilities in complex geological terranes and to improve our geological understanding of the geology/structure of the area for the Lower Devonian — Cretaceous sedimentary succession. The model is suitable for use at scales between 1:250 000–1:750 000 and to a depth of 3000 m.
