BGS deliver the first marine geology and habitat maps for one of the world’s largest marine protected areas.
Twenty years after its installation, BGS Visualisation Systems lead Bruce Napier reflects on our cutting-edge virtual reality suite and looks forward to new possibilities.
3D visualisation systems enable geoscientists to communicate with each other and with end users from diverse disciplines to better understand complex and varied datasets.
G-BASE is a major BGS project that surveyed the surface geochemistry of the entire UK. Soil and stream-sediment geochemistry data is available for south-west England as a standalone dataset.
A standard method of providing geographical features across the web. WFS provides real data as opposed to WMS that provides only images.
BGS has pioneered the use of ground-based (terrestrial) techniques for a variety of geoscientific applications since 1999.
Buried valleys are ancient river or subglacial (beneath a glacier) drainage networks that are now abandoned and have become either partly or completely buried by more recent sediment.
Data modelling is an important part of the wider research around the environment and human health.
