Centre for Environmental Geochemistry

BGS Research — Science facilities

The Centre for Environmental Geochemistry (CEG) focuses on the use of geochemistry in research, training and teaching. We investigate:

  • environmental and climate change
  • biogeochemical cycling including pollution typing/provenance
  • science-based archaeology
  • the use of geochemical tools for research into the subsurface

The centre has established collaborations with both the University of Nottingham and Heriot-Watt University.
