A short history of the Geological Survey of England and Wales.
A history of geological mapping in Scotland, including timeline and early beginnings.
Mapping the engineering geological characteristics, mineralogy, industrial applications, geological hazard potential, physical properties and behaviour of geological formations.
Our current activities build on the BGS’s extensive research experience in this region, contributing to welfare and future economic growth by the responsible use of natural resources.
AquiMod simulates groundwater level time-series at a point by linking simple algorithms of soil drainage, unsaturated zone flow and groundwater flow.
BGS has a long history of international groundwater research and developing tools for groundwater management.
Soil piping is a naturally occurring hydraulic process that leads to the development of macropores (large, air-filled voids) in the subsurface that are associated with landslides and collapse subsidence.
Tristan da Cuhna is an active volcano in the South Atlantic Ocean. The BGS is developing research on the island to better understand the volcanic processes and associated hazards.
