A history of geological mapping in Ireland
BGS is combining its expertise with researchers from Queen’s University Belfast, the University of Dhaka and the International Agency for Research on Cancer to further develop a urine-based early detection test.
Working with UK and overseas governments to provide geological and oil prospectivity advice.
The BGS’s test site at Aldbrough is located on the extensive Holderness coast of Yorkshire and monitors the actively receding coastline.
In June 2014 the BGS were asked to carry out a terrestrial LiDAR survey of the Hellfire Caves; a network of man-made chalk and flint caverns, extending 500m underground.
Creating and using leading-edge technologies such as geophysical tomography to visualise the shallow subsurface.
Our scientists lead research projects and work in partnerships around the world to improve our understanding of volcanic processes, hazards and risks.
The eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai Volcano in January 2022 has highlighted a global unpreparedness for the impacts from large-scale global events.
