Find out more about the BGS and the services we offer through our enquiries and customer services team.
We have a wide range of licensed geoscience data. The datasets range from the geological data family (BGS Geology) to offshore data, ground stability datasets and 3D models.
The BGS Geology datasets are digital geological maps of Great Britain based on the different series of published BGS geological maps.
This generalised digital geological data is based on our 1:250 000-scale, bedrock-only maps. Data and lithostratigraphic re-classifications are derived from maps published between 1977 and 1993.
BGS·SIGMA is an integrated toolkit for digital geological mapping, enabling the assembly, capture, interrogation and visualisation of geological information.
We offers a variety of services and products for the general public, including reports, geological maps in digital and printed versions, books, posters and guides, and mobile applications, available online and in our on-site shops.
BGS and the GSNI have carried out two major projects to examine the chemical composition of stream sediment, stream water and soil samples.
Water companies manage extensive networks of pipes for water supply and sewerage and over time, these pipes can fail, resulting in leakage to the surrounding soils.
