The BGS GeoScour datasets provide a generalised overview of the natural characteristics and properties of catchment and riverine environments for the assessment of river scour in Great Britain.
Scientists at BGS will lead a new four-year project that will enhance our understanding of gravel barrier systems across the coastlines of the UK.
Boxing Day 2024 marks 20 years since the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. Prof David Tappin reflects on the disaster and discusses what we have learnt since 2004.
Hazard monitoring provides valuable information for process understanding and for the science required for developing early warning systems to protect people and infrastructure.
Tsunamis are truly multi-hazardous global phenomena because the different mechanisms result in their wide geographic spread and impact.
BGS worked with National Grid to undertake a screening exercise to identify potential geological and flooding hazards that might impact their network.
Analysing satellite measurements alongside ground-based observations and geophysical models to study earthquakes and volcanoes.
