The marine geoscientists at BGS provide independent and expert geological advice, research and data acquisition to anyone working in the marine environment.
The BGS is a data-rich organisation. Our data science and data infrastructure are fundamental to our future research and underpin our strategic challenges.
We recognise the important role we has in managing the impact of our day-to-day operations on the environment and in promoting the principles of sustainability in all of our activities.
The National Geoscience programme is a forward-looking investment in UK geology that provides relevant, coherent and enriched geoscience knowledge for our stakeholders.
Geothermal energy is available across the UK in different geological settings. It can be used to produce thermal (and in some places electrical) energy for a wide range of uses.
UK Geoenergy Observatories are facilitating a step change in our understanding of geology and our relationship with the underground environment.
We are measuring, recording and analysing ground motions from earthquakes and other seismic events across the UK and overseas.
Geothermal energy is all energy stored in the form of heat beneath the surface of the solid earth. It is a reliable and constant source of low-carbon, renewable heat that is not dependent on weather conditions.
