Dissolution (Karst) Geohazards Information

NO LONGER EXISTSData detailing the distribution and severity of dissolution (karst) features throughout the UK. The data is stored locally as ArcView shape files with associated database information detailing the severity of the karst geohazards ranked from 1-5. The dataset is under construction, but will eventually cover the karst geohazards related to Limestone, Chalk, Gypsum and Salt. Consistent data, but some variability depening on the age of the source digital maps.
