Carbon capture and storage involves capturing carbon dioxide at emission sources, such as power stations, then transporting and storing it underground.
Active and previous research projects.
The BGS palaeontology and biostratigraphy collections are held at our Keyworth and Edinburgh offices.
BGS vitrinite reflectance data derived from borehole analysis. Vitrinite reflectance data tells us the maximum temperature history of a sediment.
Geological records demonstrate that there have been a number of large variations in Earth’s climate in the past.
Temperature rises can affect agriculture, sea levels and the frequency of extreme weather incidents. We can study past climate change by looking at the evidence in rocks, fossils and changes in the landscape.
The British Geological Survey University Funding Initiative (BUFI) supports numerous PhD students through funding and/or supervision. Here is a list of ISI publications arising from these collaborations.
