Details of how the original models were made can found in their downloadable user guide: User Guide for the British Geological Survey Superficial Deposit Thickness (1Km Hex-Grid) dataset. British Geological Survey Open Report OR/16/57: http://www.bgs.ac.uk/products/onshore/superficialThickness.html. To create this new dataset, the original BSTM (Basic Superficial Thickness Model) was spatially summarised by aggregating the original 50 m resolution raster data into vector hexagons (of area 2.6 km2). A typical hexagon cell contains the equivalent of just over 1000 raster cells (50 m x 50 m) from the original model. This means that each hexagon can extract its summary values from up to c. 1000 input cells. All spatial processing was performed in ESRI ArcGIS 10.3 using the zonal statistics tool within the Spatial Analyst extension. The data have been checked via standard BGS publication procedures. http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/27700 http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/4326 http://data.bgs.ac.uk/id/dataHolding/13607068
