We have extensive collections of books, maps, journals and BGS publications. We also hold special collections of British geological photographs and archive material, chiefly the historical archives of the BGS.
The SOS team are focused on two main research objectives: development of smart sensor networks for multiscale catchment monitoring and forecasting, and optimisation of smart sensor networks to quantify and improve urban water security.
The BGS used robust security cameras to automatically take photos of the Virkisjökull glacier and send them back to scientists in Edinburgh.
The quality of groundwater determines its value as a resource and its impact on surface water ecosystems. BGS researches all aspects of groundwater quality.
Data and information are fundamental to scientific progress. At BGS we gather and curate data from our own projects and from partners.
BGS undertakes research to better understand the potential for using groundwater as a renewable geothermal energy source.
Eruption source parameters (ESPs) are those parameters that describe the initiation condition for numerical models. Different models require different input parameters; the quality of model outputs is dependent on the quality of model inputs.
The BGS contributed to an advisory mission in Solotvyno, Ukraine, to investigate pollution linked to the Solotvyno salt mine complex.
