UKCS Structural and Tectonic Elements Database

This structural and tectonics database has been purchased from Getech by the NSTA for publication. It is based on mapping using gravity and magnetic datasets, remote sensing data, geology maps, publicly available seismic data and literature. Structures are mapped at 1:1m scale, and an extensive number of attributes explain the data used in mapping, kinematics and confidence in the interpretation of the structure. Each structural element also has a detailed activation history within the attribution, describing periods of activity or inactivity and the kinematics through time based on direct data and/or Getech’s tectonic model for the area. The database is being delivered out as an ArcGIS geodatabase which contains the mapped structural elements fully categorised and attributed together with activation histories where applicable. The “Structural Builds” PDF document should be used to alongside the geodatabase as this provides an explanation of the schema used . The “READ ME ” file should also be used to provide some additional information for navigating around the data. These data are being released under the OGA Licence (OGAL) , the terms of which can be found in the documentation included with this delivery.
