London Earth is the systematic, high-density, geochemical soil dataset of the Greater London Area (GLA) aiming to give insight into the environmental impacts of urbanisation and industrialisation on the UK's most populous city.
Search BGS datasets using GeoIndex, a map-based index of a wealth of information that we have collected or have obtained from other sources.
The BGS mineralogy and petrology collections contain upwards of a million samples and can be searched using the BRTIROCKS database.
Permeability data is often used in studies of groundwater. Our permeability information is based on BGS Geology 50K data.
The mining hazard dataset provides essential information for planners and developers building in areas of former shallow underground mine workings.
The aquifer designation dataset reflects the importance of aquifers in England and Wales as a resource and their role in supporting surface water flows and wetland ecosystems.
Free access to available information and reports which have been produced through the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) SEA process.
