BGS laboratory capability
BGS's research provides an integral and essential part of the BGS science strategy, particularly within the energy, minerals and waste, land use planning and development, climate change and groundwater science areas.
The laboratories are managed through four discipline based facilities:
GeochemistryInorganic and organic geochemistry, radiogenic isotope facility, stable isotope facility.
Mineralogy, petrology, microanalysis and imaging Mineralogy, petrography and microanalysis, thin sections, biostratigraphy.
Physical propertiesRock mechanical properties, hydrophysical and geophysical properties, geotechnical properties, hydrogeological properties and processes.
Fluid processes research Transport properties, hydrothemal, hydrates and ice, geomicrobiology, gamma ray spectrometry / radiochemistry.
