Prediction of outcrops or subcrops of rock in UK shelf seabed (public)

Prediction of the presence of rock at outcrop or subcrop at the seabed across the UK shelf area. This shapefile was produced through a semi-automated approach, using a Random Forest model combined with an expert interpretation phase. Use the field "ROCK_TYPE" to distinguish between rock at the surface and rock covered by sediment when using the data for habitat analysis.
