BGS digital geology maps: we want your feedback

Our digital geological maps are a unique national resource. A good understanding of the subsurface is critical for many applications across a wide range of disciplines, including, but not limited to:

• aquifer management
• radioactive waste disposal
• mineral resources
• engineering
• geohazards

Geological maps and digital data help with making investment and planning decisions, assessing hazards and de-risking projects. We are constantly aiming to update and improve our maps, so they are fit for the digital demands of the 21st century.

Why do we want your feedback? 

BGS is constantly striving to improve its map compilation and dissemination procedures. The maintenance and development of our geological data is a vital part of our survey role. This is especially important as technologies change and offer new ways to disseminate information. The way we collect, compile and produce map data is also changing, so we are reviewing the way our maps and products are developed and delivered to our customers. 

Have your say 

Implementing effective change requires input from all our stakeholder groups and we’d like to hear from you. What are your current priorities? What problems are being solved using our data? What would you like to see in the future? BGS values your input and would appreciate you completing this short questionnaire, providing as much context as possible.
