BGS Geology 10k - 25k (DiGMapGB-10 & DiGMapGB-25) Mass Movement version 3
Data identifying landscape areas (shown as polygons) attributed with type of mass movement e.g., landslip. The scale of the data is 1:10 000 and 1:25 000 scale. Onshore coverage is partial with approximately 52% of England, Scotland, and Wales available in the version 3 data release. BGS intend to continue developing coverage at this scale; current focus is to include all large priority urban areas, along with road and rail transport corridors. Mass movement describes areas where deposits have m

- Resolution docs-verified
- 1:10 000 and 1:25 000 scale
- Update frequency docs-verified

Useful for
- Use cases llm-inferred
- Desk-study landslip screening for development sites in the covered areas · Hazard screening along road and rail transport corridors (a stated BGS coverage priority) · Subsidence and foundered-ground screening in large urban areas
- Audience llm-inferred
- geotechnical engineers · engineering geologists · civils engineers · planners · GIS analysts
Limitations
- Constraints docs-verified
- onshore coverage partial (approximately 52% of England, Scotland and Wales) · mass movement events not always recorded historically by BGS · may be out of date given the dynamic nature of landslip occurrence · BGS data licence restricts reproduction; no warranty of accuracy or suitability
