The National Landslide Information Centre at BGS has of a core team of geologists, geomorphologists and engineering geologists who specialise in landslides. Information is gathered from surveys and reports or as part of our responsive work in Great Britain. All this information is added to the National Landslide Database.

The Response Team

When a significant landslide is reported, the Landslide Response Team is dispatched to assess it and collect data for the National Landslide Database. Here are some examples of this work:
