Web Map Services (WMS) — UK geology datasets

The datasets below are made available as Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Map Services (WMS). View in compatible software.

They can also be accessed by websites that use a map-based interface to connect to WMS services, allowing data from different providers to be visualised spatially and compared.

Two prototype websites provide access to BGS datasets:

OneGeology — dynamic digital geological map data for the world at a scale of about 1: 1 million. Access the data through the OneGeology Portal.
NERC Environmental Data Portal — search, combine and display environmental data from a wide group of providers.

Terms of use:

Non-commercial use — acknowledge the material.
Commercial use — apply for a Digital Data Licence.
