The British Geological Survey (BGS) has one of the largest databases in the world on the production and trade of minerals.
The 1:250 000-scale offshore geological map for bedrock geology (BGS Geology: marine bedrock 250k) is available digitally.
The 1:250 000-scale offshore geological maps for seabed sediments are available digitally.
The Biosphere Isotope Domains GB (Version 2) data comprises analysis and location-specific information for strontium, sulphur, lead and oxygen (from drinking water and tooth enamel) isotope variation for Great Britain.
Planet Earth is dynamic with a surface that is always changing. Find out about the processes that cause these changes.
The Soil Parent Material Model details the distribution of properties of the weathered and unweathered soil parent materials of the UK.
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.
BGS is engaged in surveying the country for former mineral sites due to their importance for planning purposes and as potential sources of currently scarce resources such as building stone, in addition to hazard checking.
