Semi-automated mapping of rock in the English Channel and Celtic Sea 2015

Abstract

The aim of this project is to produce a standard interpretation for rock distribution for Charting Progress 2 (CP2) regions 3 and 4 that can be used by the different agencies of the national and devolved governments. This project is designed as a pilot study with the aim to demonstrate a method that maximises the benefits of automated mapping approaches and in-depth geological knowledge. The developed method should be able to be applied subsequently to all other parts of the UK shelf.
