Understanding and assessing geochemical hazards in the environment has been a part of the BGS portfolio of research for over 50 years.
Time-lapse geoelectrical imaging has the potential to produce volumetric, time-dependent maps of contaminant distributions for use in contaminated land remediation.
We have extensive collections of books, maps, journals and BGS publications. We also hold special collections of British geological photographs and archive material, chiefly the historical archives of the BGS.
Addressing issues related to the sustainability of water resources and quality, and the effects of environmental change on the water cycle, natural hazards, and human health.
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 worked with National Grid to undertake a screening exercise to identify potential geological and flooding hazards that might impact their network.
Major transport projects create and utilise excavated materials to create underpinning infrastructure (in the form of tunnels, cuttings and embankments).
