Mining hazards considers the long and varied legacy of underground extraction of minerals in Great Britain. Previous research has defined the spatial extent of non-coal mining and now the BGS isinvestigating the 'zone of influence' around areas of underground mining.
BGS scientists are collaborating with research partners to improve knowledge of landslide susceptibility in Ethiopia.
The BGS National Landslide Database (NLD) is the most extensive source of information on landslides in Great Britain.
The IMAGER project aims to develop 3D electrical resistivity tomography as a nationally applicable method for investigating important onshore sand and gravel deposits.
RAWFILL aims to provide knowledge and tools to screen landfill sites, with the goal of recovering dormant raw materials, energy carriers and land resources.
Thw Waste Management ALERT project aims to develop a non-invasive, 4D, electrical imaging system for automated time-lapse monitoring of landfill sites.
Time-lapse geoelectrical imaging has the potential to produce volumetric, time-dependent maps of contaminant distributions for use in contaminated land remediation.
Our scientists lead research projects and work in partnerships around the world to improve our understanding of volcanic processes, hazards and risks.
