The Giant's Causeway and Causeway Coast form Northern Ireland's only UNESCO World Heritage Site, formed 60 million years ago.
Sinkholes are hollows that are the result of some kind of collapse of an underlying layer of rock.
Decarbonisation of power production, heat, transport and industry is a major challenge and one that intrinsically involves geoscience.
The superficial thickness model shows the depth of the bedrock surface below unconsolidated deposits
The BGS superficial thickness hex grid map shows the variation of the thickness of superficial deposits across Great Britain.
This theme provides information on zones of rock strength and the local factors controlling it, as part of a suite of GIS layers for different engineering parameters.
BGS is committed to research aimed at slowing down the effects of a changing climate, whilst helping society to become resilient to climate change.
