Summary

This Web service provides the BGS Thermal Properties (1 km hex grid) dataset as a Web Map Service (WMS). This dataset shows thermal properties relating to bedrock beneath our feet. The information can be used to assess the potential for closed and open loop ground source heat pumps across, or deeper geothermal assessments, across the United Kingdom. The attribution and spatial data underpinning the model are that which is described and shown by Rollin (1987) and Gale (2004, 2005).
