Geophysical Surveys Near Goxhill, South Humberside

SUMMARY Geophysical surveys between Goxhill and Skitter Ness have resulted in the discovery of an old channel of the River Humber from which the boulder clay has been completely eroded and in which estuarine silts have been subsequently deposited. It is suggested that during the time when the river was in direct contact with the Chalk, saline water entered the aquifer and was later entrapped by the deposition of the low permeability silts.
