Title

UKCP09 Climate projections and clay shrink-swell susceptibility

Abstract

Shrink-swell is recognised as the most significant geohazard across Great Britain. This dataset identifies areas of shrink-swell hazard with increased potential due to changing climatic conditions based on forecasts derived from the UKCP09 research project. The dataset has been created at two levels of detail for different climatic scenarios and dates up to 2080. The Basic dataset is an overview at 2Km grid resolution whilst the more detailed Premium dataset is generated at a 50m resolution. The Open versions are simplified versions of the premium versions and are shared via GeoIndex. The premium versions are paid for products. UKCP09 - UK Climate Projections 2009 project

Lineage

Following the initial determinations of the CHANGE model, based on the ZOODRM (zoom object-oriented distributed recharge model) and Future Flows 11RCM (Regional Climate Models) data, and the initial assessment of the shrink-swell susceptible areas, based on the GeoSure Shrink-Swell layer, a new GeoClimate rating for shrink-swell susceptibility was devised. This new rating was based on the Modified Plasticity Index (IP') values, from the BGS GeoSure Shrink-Swell layer, combined with the Days in Drought (DiD) values, from the ZOODRM and Future Flows 11RCM data. DiD grids were calculated for three different climatic scenarios for the years 2020, 2030, 2040, 2050 and 2080. Each of these grids was combined with the Shrink-Swell layer to produce a revised Volume Change Potential (VCP) score for the UK. All processing was done within ArcGIS.
