BGS crowdmap
Our citizen science programme encourages volunteers to record observations about temporary geological exposures — GeoExposures — or geological hazards (such as a landslides or flooding).
You don't have to be a qualified scientist to post information; you just need to know where the event or observation is located.
You can upload photos, web or video links, or a simple text description of what you have observed.
We would like you to share your evidence of landslides, flooding or rock exposures at britishgeologicalsurvey.crowdmap.com
Users will be able to see their information as well as viewing observations from other contributors. Note: there is a short delay before uploads are visible.
Smartphone users
Smartphone users can send reports to GeoExposures using the Ushahidi Android App or iPhone App through the App store or iTunes.
Set the Ushahidi deployment you wish to interact with to: http://britishGeologicalSurvey.crowdmap.com
