Carbon capture and storage involves capturing carbon dioxide at emission sources, such as power stations, then transporting and storing it underground.
The British Geological Survey University Funding Initiative (BUFI) supports numerous PhD students through funding and/or supervision. Here is a list of ISI publications arising from these collaborations.
Seismometers are used to record the seismic waves produced by earthquakes. Relative arrival times of these waves is used to determine earthquake location.
The extent of damage an earthquake causes depends not only on the magnitude of the earthquake, but also on local geology and on building techniques.
Studying carbon dioxide storage as a recognised European centre of excellence in a number of research areas.
Temperature rises can affect agriculture, sea levels and the frequency of extreme weather incidents. We can study past climate change by looking at the evidence in rocks, fossils and changes in the landscape.
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.
