Basic information on what to do and what to avoid doing in the case of landslide, soluble rock or groundwater flooding geohazard events.
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.
Seismometers are used to record the seismic waves produced by earthquakes. Relative arrival times of these waves is used to determine earthquake location.
Our new strategy sets out how BGS will help its stakeholders make more effective decisions to better manage the economy, the environment and society.
Gases in the Earth's atmosphere act as an insulating blanket around the planet, trapping more of the Sun’s heat.
