Legacy BGS geothermal models: isopach map for the Upper Devonian in hot sedimentary aquifers in the Midland Valley of Scotland

This dataset represents the thickness in metres of the Upper Devonian in the Midland Valley of Scotland (Stratheden Group and Kinnesswood Formation) over the extent of the model developed by Kearsey, T.I., Receveur, M. and Monaghan, A.A., 2024. Modelled hot sedimentary aquifer geothermal potential of Upper Devonian strata in the Midland Valley of Scotland. Uncertainties in the model are linked to the absence of boreholes penetrating both the top and the base of the Upper Devonian (except the Inch of Ferryton well) and poor seismic reflection data in the centre of the basin where it is thickest and deepest. The extent of the geological units is as shown on the published BGS geology maps, considering the re-interpretation of the Kinnesswood Formation as Devonian in age. The model is presented with high uncertainty.

Legacy BGS geothermal models: theoretical potential 'recoverable heat' for the early Carboniferous limestone (hot sedimentary aquifer resources) in northern and southern England

This raster dataset shows the modelled P50 distribution of the theoretical potential 'heat recoverable' (Hrec) across the northern and southern early Carboniferous limestone (ECL) in Great Britain (MW/km2), at a resolution of 2500 m x 2500 m. Hrec is calculated for resource temperatures greater than 50°C, which represents the minimum temperature required for direct use of heat from hot sedimentary aquifer resources. Hrec represents the proportion of accessible heat in an aquifer according to the USGS definition described in e.g. Muffler and Cataldi (1978). Its calculation is part of the research published by D J.R. Jones, T. Randles, T. Kearsey, T.C. Pharaoh, A. Newell (2023). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geothermics.2023.102649. Areas of high uncertainty are delineated in the published paper and the theoretical potential of the recoverable heat is presented with very high uncertainty.

Legacy BGS geothermal models: theoretical potential 'heat-in-place' for the early Carboniferous limestone (hot sedimentary aquifer resources) in northern and southern England

This raster dataset shows the modelled P50 distribution of the theoretical potential 'heat-in-place' (HIP) across the northern and southern early Carboniferous limestone in Great Britain (PJ / km2), at a resolution of 2500 m x 2500 m. The HIP is calculated for resource temperatures greater than 50 degrees Celsius, which represents the minimum temperature required for direct use of heat from hot sedimentary aquifer resources. The HIP characterises the heat resource available in an aquifer according to the USGS definition described in e.g. Muffler and Cataldi (1978). Its calculation is part of the research published by D J.R. Jones, T. Randles, T. Kearsey, T.C. Pharaoh, A. Newell (2023). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geothermics.2023.102649.

Legacy BGS geothermal models: theoretical potential 'identified resources' (recoverable heat) for the Sherwood Sandstone Gp in the Permo-Triassic Cheshire, Worcester, Wessex and East Yorkshire Lincolnshire Basins (Hot Sedimentary Aquifer Resources)

This vector contour dataset represents the distribution of the theoretical potential calculated 'identified resources' (in GJ/m2 or PJ/km2) for the hot sedimentary aquifers in the Sherwood Sandstone Group (SSG) in the East Yorkshire-Lincolnshire, Cheshire, Wessex and Worcester basins, for resource temperatures greater than 40 °C. The theoretical potential for 'identified resources' represents the estimated proportion of the geothermal resource that is available for development. The maps are provided in raster format at a 100 m resolution.  For consistency with other legacy estimations, additional columns have been added to the original layers to include the converted value of 'identified resource' to 'recoverable heat' in MW/km2, for equivalence to the method used by D J.R. Jones, T. Randles, T. Kearsey, T.C. Pharaoh, A. Newell (2023). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geothermics.2023.102649. This dataset is derived from Rollin, K. E., G. A. Kirby, and W. J. Rowley.

Phosphate-oxygen stable isotope data from sediment core (LG3A), from Rutland Water Nature Reserve, UK

The data set includes stable oxygen isotope data measured on the non-labile (HCl-extractable) phosphorus fraction (δ18O-PO4), extracted from each 1 cm layer of sediment core. This sediment core (LG3A) was dated via correlation with a parallel core (LG3C) using 8 age-depth tie points, for which core chronology was established by analysing 210Pb activity at the British Geological Survey Inorganic Geochemistry Laboratories.

UKCCSRC Call 1 project reports: Developing CO2 networks: Information from the First Flexible CCS Network Development (FleCCSnet) project workshop

This data contains the output from the first Flexible CCS Network Development (FleCCSnet) workshop of stakeholders discussing the development of CO2 networks in the UK. The first was held on the 30 April 2014 at the University of Edinburgh, UK. The purpose of Workshop 1 was to identify and confirm the key questions to be considered in order to understand the most likely impacts of variability in the CO2 sources and variability in CO2 sinks on CO2 transport system design and operation. There were a total of 21 attendees including 7 representatives from PSE, Scottish Power, BP, SCCS, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Element Energy, and AMEC. The dataset consists of two reports. The first report, 'Developing CO2 networks: Key lessons learnt from the first Flexible CCS Network Development (FleCCSnet) project workshop', summarises the workshop findings, which have been used to create a series of scenarios that were investigated by transient simulation. The scenarios developed are described in the second report, 'Developing CO2 networks: Scenarios building on the first Flexible CCS Network Development (FleCCSnet) project workshop'.

Cave drip water electrical conductivity data from Cueva de Asiul, Northern Spain (2010 -2014) with supporting hydrological and external climate datasets. (NERC studentship grant NE/I527953/1)

The data set provides climate and cave monitoring data from Cueva de Asiul, Cantabria, northern Spain. This data was initially presented in graphical form in Smith et al., (2015) - Drip water Electrical Conductivity as an indicator of cave ventilation at the event scale. Science of the Total Environment, 532, 517-527. All data was collected from within the cave or within a 1km radius of the cave site (43°19'0"N, 3°35'28"W) using instrumentation set up as part of a PhD project running between January 2010 and January 2014. The data set includes high resolution event based monitoring data for a range of climatic parameters - cave and external temperature, rainfall amount, soil pCO2 cave air pCO2 concentration, cave drip water calcium saturation, drip water electrical conductivity and cave air pressure. This data was analysed at Lancaster University, UK or at the NERC isotope geosciences laboratory, British Geological Survey, UK. Any missing data from this 4 year period is a result of instrument malfunction and is clearly explained within the above cited paper. The electrical conductivity component of the data set offers the first data set of this type form any cave system, using a submerged CTD Diver probe and novel piston flow housing. The rest of the data constitute a part of a larger cave monitoring data set produced during the project using a number of standard automated cave monitoring devices. When combined this data leads us to conclude that cave drip water electrical conductivity is driven primarily by changes in cave air pCO2 at Cueva de Asiul and therefore responds to cave ventilation dynamics, rather than by changes in karst water residence time. Without such extremely high resolution monitoring the impact of cave ventilation on event based changes in drip water electrical conductivity would not have been established for this site. This data set should be of interest to anyone studying similar cave sites, interested in the role of electrical conductivity as a monitoring tool within caves and cave ventilation on speleothem growth dynamics. The data set was collected by members of Lancaster University and the Matienzo caving expedition as part of NERC studentship grant NE/I527953/1. All cave monitoring was undertaken with kind permission from Gobierno de Cantabria, Cultura.
