Geothermal energy is available across the UK in different geological settings. It can be used to produce thermal (and in some places electrical) energy for a wide range of uses.
Seismometers are used to record the seismic waves produced by earthquakes. Relative arrival times of these waves is used to determine earthquake location.
This theme provides information on the suitability of a geological material for foundations as part of a suite of GIS layers for different engineering parameters.
