The Environment Agency has made 1m-resolution LIDAR imagery coverage for large areas of England and Wales freely available on the internet under Open Government Licence (www.lidarfinder.com).
The map (Fig. 1) shows the solid and superficial geology together with the rivers and dry valleys of the area between Emsworth and Chichester. The geology is based on BGS mapping with further interpretation by the author using the LIDAR imagery.
