We are developing geophysical monitoring systems that can be used to study hydraulic processes inside unstable slopes to identify and and give early warning of landslide events.
Improving how near-surface geology can be characterised and predicted in upland environments.
On Sunday 9 February 2020, Storm Ciara hit the UK with very high winds and intense rainfall causing widespread disruption and flooding.
BGS scientists helped with experimental trials to investigate the influence of soil management strategies, on metal uptake of soils.
BGS seismologists are using the seismicity that is hitting Central Italy to analyse the triggering and evolution of an earthquake sequence.
We are measuring, recording and analysing ground motions from earthquakes and other seismic events across the UK and overseas.
Our research extends beyond the distribution and processes associated with sinkhole formation to the broader subject of karst.
