BGS is currently working on a major international project for the United Arab Emirates Government, creating high quality geological maps of the country. The fieldwork is focused on the western United Arab Emirates between Dubai, Al Ain and the Saudi border, including all of Abu Dhabi.
The survey is part of a wider UAE Ministry of Energy funded project which aims to look at the hard rock mineral resources such as limestone, gabbro and platinum group minerals.

The South Georgia observatory will plug a significant gap in the global network of magnetic observatories. In particular South Georgia observatory will allow better monitoring of the South Atlantic Anomaly and of changes occurring deep within the Earth. By establishing the new observatory, BGS will re-start continuous magnetic observations in South Georgia, last carried out in 1982.

Scientists at the British Geological Survey were alerted by their automatic earthquake location software 10 minutes after the earthquake struck Haiti. The seismic waves from the earthquake took 10 minutes to reach their seismic monitoring stations in the UK. Since then their seismologists have been examining the data and investigating why Haiti was struck by an earthquake of this size.
