Undertaking specialised core characterisation on drillcore and rock chippings from borehole samples for a wide range of hydrogeological purposes.
Find out about the different types of volcanic hazards that put human lives, livelihoods or infrastructure at risk of harm.
Continuing BGS's sustained track record of energy storage research, which will underpin future laboratory, field and GIS-based activities and commissions.
The BGS monitors glaciers and the landscape that surrounds them in a number of ways, such as boreholes, ground penetrating radar and hydrometric monitoring.
We are researching groundwater extremes, the impacts of environmental and climate change on groundwater in the UK and internationally, and what this means for building a more resilient future for our water resources.
The BGS has been studying the geology underneath some of India’s large cities, including Amaravati — a city so new it hasn’t been built yet.
The East African Rift (EAR) is a unique natural laboratory because a wide range of dynamic geological processes, such as rifting, magmatic intrusions and different types of volcanic eruptions, can be directly observed and studied.
The BGS Volcanology group are supporting a variety of projects under the ODA programme that are building partnerships, sharing knowledge, and enhancing our understanding of hazards and risks.
