Abstract/Summary
The GEOSYNTH project provides, through the medium of a CD-ROM, a bi-lingual synthesis in GIS and multimedia format of the geology and sedimentology of the Dover Strait and its coastal limits. This report only exhibits the form of the maps and accompanying text from the extensive dataset held in the CD-ROM. Environmental pressures from factors such as sea level rise, climate change, marine aggregate extraction, fisheries and tourism, both now and in the future require an understanding of the of the geology and sediments of the Dover Strait and its coastal hinterland. Significant geological data exist from scientific research, regional, environmental and resource surveys and engineering work within the project area. Collating, interpreting and synthesising available geological data into an integrated themed format has been the principal aim of the GEOSYNTH project. The area covered by the project includes the coasts of Kent and Nord – Pas de Calais and the offshore area between these two regions including the Dover Strait and the Thames Estuary.
