A Conceptual Geological Model for investigating shallow sub-surface geology, Cheshire Energy Research Field Site

This report is a published product of the UK Geoenergy Observatories project (formerly known as the ESIOS project), by the British Geological Survey (BGS) and forms part of the geological characterisation of the Cheshire site. The report gives a conceptual overview of the shallow sub-surface geology around the Cheshire Energy Research Field Site, including a review of geological processes that have been active in this vicinity following the deposition of the youngest preserved bedrock in the area, the Sherwood Sandstone Group. This recent geological history has resulted in a complicated near-surface succession that influences the properties of rocks and soils. These have an effect on sub-surface flow processes and behaviour.
