Coastal vulnerability is an issue in many coastal areas of Great Britain. Understanding the processes and identifying potential geohazards and interdependencies within the coastal zone allows users to mitigate and plan to improve future resilience.
Climate change is an increasingly important issue affecting us all, from housing subsidence to road or pipe damage. This research focuses on the potential effects of climate change on subsidence, and how tools for future scenario forecasting can aid planning and development.
Mining hazards considers the long and varied legacy of underground extraction of minerals in Great Britain. Previous research has defined the spatial extent of non-coal mining and now the BGS isinvestigating the 'zone of influence' around areas of underground mining.
The BGS National Landslide Database (NLD) is the most extensive source of information on landslides in Great Britain.
RAWFILL aims to provide knowledge and tools to screen landfill sites, with the goal of recovering dormant raw materials, energy carriers and land resources.
Time-lapse geoelectrical imaging has the potential to produce volumetric, time-dependent maps of contaminant distributions for use in contaminated land remediation.
Our scientists lead research projects and work in partnerships around the world to improve our understanding of volcanic processes, hazards and risks.
Debris flows, also known as lahars when they involve volcanic material, are mixtures of sediments and water that flow down the slopes in response to gravity.
