BGS is committed to research aimed at slowing down the effects of a changing climate, whilst helping society to become resilient to climate change.
Gases in the Earth's atmosphere act as an insulating blanket around the planet, trapping more of the Sun’s heat.
Geological records demonstrate that there have been a number of large variations in Earth’s climate in the past.
Seismometers are used to record the seismic waves produced by earthquakes. Relative arrival times of these waves is used to determine earthquake location.
The BGS's Keyworth site has a conference suite and separate exhibition space available to hire by the day or half-day.
We are undertaking research aimed at reducing vulnerability, protecting resources and building resilience in response to substantial environmental changes.
BGS Civils is a suite of national maps of engineering properties based on geological data and the digital 1:50 000 scale geological map - BGS Geology 50k.
