3D voxel model of the Belgian Continental Shelf

Three-dimensional voxel model of the geological subsurface of the Belgian Continental Shelf containing information on probabilities of lithological classes (2: clay, 3: silt, 5: fine sand, 6: medium sand, 7: coarse sand and 8: gravel) and stratigraphy (1: Upper Holocene Nearshore, 2: Upper Holocene Offshore, 3: Lower Holocene, 4: Pleistocene and 5: Paleogene), estimated percentages of lithoclasses (clay, silt, mud, fine sand, medium sand, coarse sand, gravel and shells), and uncertainties (borehole density, entropie, positional quality, sampling quality and vintage).
