The first regional assessment for 30 years will support offshore marine and subsurface planning for the UK’s low-carbon energy infrastructure, including the 2030 target of 45 to 50 GW generated through offshore wind.
The project will replicate the 1927 survey to assess changes in the lake’s health, economic value and social importance.
A comprehensive collection of geological samples from the vicinity of a former mine in Scotland is now available to scientists for further research.
The BGS has produced a suite of hydrogeological maps of Scotland. The suite includes layers with groundwater vulnerability and aquifer productivity data.
The BGS GeoSure datasets identify areas of potential hazard and, therefore, potential natural ground movement, in Great Britain.
This theme provides information on the electrical resistivity of a geological material, to be used where the earthing characteristics of the ground are required.
Our most detailed dataset is provided at 1:10 000 and 1:25 000 scale. This digital geological data is based on BGS’s highest-resolution survey mapping. Many urban centres and transport routes are covered by this dataset. Lithostratigraphic nomenclature is updated to current usage.
The BGS GeoSure 5 km hex grid datasets provide a generalised overview of the susceptibility to six naturally occurring geohazards in Great Britain.
