The BGS is a data-rich organisation. Our data science and data infrastructure are fundamental to our future research and underpin our strategic challenges.
Deposition is the laying down of sediment carried by wind, water, or ice.
Decarbonisation of power production, heat, transport and industry is a major challenge and one that intrinsically involves geoscience.
This theme provides information on the suitability of a geological material for foundations as part of a suite of GIS layers for different engineering parameters.
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.
