Please see our frequently asked questions where many questions concerning wells, boreholes, maps, geology viewers and earthquake monitoring have already been answered.

We will spend up to 30 minutes free of charge on an enquiry and, for any request that will take longer than 30 minutes to answer, we will prepare a quote to cover the cost of providing a more detailed scientific response.
