New ‘hydrological hub’ to foster research and provide essential national water management datasets and tools.
METEOR is a three-year project led by the BGS aiming to apply Earth observation to improve understanding of risk exposure, hazards and vulnerability.
Research in these laboratories focuses on understanding fluid (water, gas and solutes) movement and rock deformation in the subsurface.
The potential for landsliding (slope instability) to be a hazard has been assessed using 1:50 000 scale digital maps of superficial and bedrock deposits. These have been combined with information from the BGS National Landslide Database and scientific and engineering reports.
