Measuring, recording and analysing near-surface geological hazards including landslides, sinkholes and discontinuities.
The SOS team are focused on two main research objectives: development of smart sensor networks for multiscale catchment monitoring and forecasting, and optimisation of smart sensor networks to quantify and improve urban water security.
AquiMod simulates groundwater level time-series at a point by linking simple algorithms of soil drainage, unsaturated zone flow and groundwater flow.
BGS GISGroundwater is an add-in to ArcGIS that models the depth to groundwater beneath the land surface.
The CAESAR-Lisflood-DESC (CLiDE) platform, is a quasi-three-dimensional geomorphological simulator that couples cellular automata modelling from various backgrounds.
The quality of groundwater determines its value as a resource and its impact on surface water ecosystems. BGS researches all aspects of groundwater quality.
Groundwater is vulnerable to contamination from a wide range of human activities including agriculture, urbanisation, waste disposal, past and present industry and from pollution incidents.
BGS undertakes research to better understand the potential for using groundwater as a renewable geothermal energy source.
