BGS Geology data is provided as a series of layered themes. Depending on the scale of data chosen, up to five main themes are available.
BGS operates and maintains a wide range of state-of-the-art laboratories and other facilities, which underpin virtually all of our research.
BGS has welcomed the Government’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution which highlights the importance of geology and the ongoing need to support essential geoscientific research that will underpin the UK’s long term energy transition.
BGS will be attending the European Geosciences Union’s annual General Assembly, giving a number of talks and presentations throughout the week.
Relief is the term used for the differences in height across the land’s surface and is affected by the underlying rocks.
BGS has produced 1:1 million-scale engineering geological maps of the UK, attributed with ‘engineering geological units’ in place of the traditional lithostratigraphical units.
Providing independent and expert geoscientific tools and advice to assess different adaptation options to coastal flooding and erosion.
