As the national geological survey, we are the UK’s premier provider of objective and authoritative scientific data, information and knowledge to help society understand our Earth.
Generalised digital geological map data based on BGS's New Series 1:50 000 and 1:63 360 scale (one-inch to one-mile) maps with updated nomenclature.
This dataset contains the geological distribution of all onshore mineral resources.
In response to the need for more information on groundwater flooding, BGS has produced the first national dataset on the susceptibility across Britain.
This dataset provides a generalised overview of the likelihood for mining to have occurred.
Permeability data is often used in studies of groundwater. Our permeability information is based on BGS Geology 50K data.
The mining hazard dataset provides essential information for planners and developers building in areas of former shallow underground mine workings.
