Following last year's successful OS OpenData seminars, Ordnance Survey is hosting a second series of FREE half-day seminars in central London.
BGS will be demonstrating some of our 3D data during two half-day seminars on the value of OS OpenData in Financial Services
The seminar will cover:
- how to get OS free data
- how to use OS OpenData
- learn about the possibilities of linked data
- learn from existing users of OS OpenData
- quiz OS technical experts
- find out about datasets from other government agencies
- advanced workshop for existing users of geographic information.

The main focus of this conference is to examine the existing, current and proposed shale gas extraction, with a focus on the associated environmental impacts, allowing an insight from the commercial and environmental leaders.
This will then be complemented by examining the risks associated with extraction, environmental benefits and challenges, public opposition and support, responsible development and product management, achieving environmental compliance and the future of environmental legislation, and commercial challenges and opportunities.
Professor Mike Stephenson, BGS Head of Science (Energy) is speaking and leading a half day workshop on:
Public engagement in the development of subsurface energy usage: shale gas, underground coal gasification, gas storage, geothermal, and carbon capture and storage

The United Arab Emirates is one of the world's most rapidly urbanising countries and host to many major civil engineering projects including the world's tallest building, artificial offshore islands, new international airports and high speed rail networks. To underpin this development, the UAE Government has commissioned the British Geological Survey to undertake geological mapping and strategic mineral resources surveys across the country.
Dr Andy Farrant and Helen Burke from BGS will be speaking at this lecture.

Special Technical Sessions | Crossing the Digital Divide: Availability of Geoscience Knowledge for Resolving Environmental and Societal Challenges.
BGS Team Leader, Holger Kessler, is featured in this special session that addresses the entire digital geoscience data collection, management, and dissemination process, including: making and maintaining digital data resources, digital tools for 3D/4D geological modelling, associated process modeling, visualisation, and options for collaborative web-enabled outreach.
Experiences with process modeling for hydrogeologic investigations have led the USGS, the British Geological Survey, and the Illinois Geological Survey, to adopt an integrated holistic Earth modelling approach, supported by digital data management, visualisation, and dissemination tools, and to focus on development of linked-process models across a range of earth and social science processes.
