The Glasgow Observatory provides unprecedented access to the subsurface and will fill in the knowledge gaps around geothermal energy.
Dam and slope failures can lead to the wide-scale destruction of property and, in some cases, catastrophic loss of life.
The offshore GeoIndex shows the range of marine geoscience data held by the BGS within the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC).
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.
BGS was involved in Technical Co-operation projects in Sumatra with the Indonesian Ministry of Mines and Energy since 1975.
BGS GeoSchool offers a wide-ranging programme of both field and classroom-based professional development training courses.
Applications range from mineral exploration and waste management, to monitoring active processes within the subsurface, such as the movement of pollutants, or the flow of groundwater in unstable slopes affecting infrastructure.
