Providing independent and expert geoscientific tools and advice to assess different adaptation options to coastal flooding and erosion.
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.
