BGS LithoFrame models provide 3D geological characterisation for parts of the onshore and offshore UK at a range of scales. They present framework geological interpretation consistent with the stratigraphic framing schemes and scales used in BGS geological maps. Models have been constructed under a range of project activities and include local-scale superficial and bedrock models covering sites and focused study areas, medium-scale superficial and bedrock models covering many urban areas, transport corridors and smaller catchments, and regional-scale bedrock models covering large catchments, district areas, and geological basins. The 3D geological models have been constructed in a period between 2003 and 2018 and is managed by the 3D GeoModel project (National and International Geoscience).
