The British Geological Survey (BGS) has one of the largest databases in the world on the production and trade of minerals.
Our intention is to balance the safe retention and control of national geoscience databases and geological information, with the need to release information openly.
The BGS Drilling Facility performs shallow drilling operations and tests to support BGS research.

The 1:50 000-scale geological maps for England, Wales and Scotland and have been made available to view as a WMS service. Layers for bedrock, superficial deposits and geological linear features are included.
These geological maps provide UK onshore geological data at 1:625 000 scale and UK continental shelf sea-bed sediment data at 1:1 million scale as a WMS.
The 1:250 000-scale offshore geological maps in the Universal Transverse Mercator projection (UTM) series have been made available to view as a WMS.
