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.
BGS is committed to research aimed at slowing down the effects of a changing climate, whilst helping society to become resilient to climate change.
A short walk around Holyrood Park provides an insight into the geological history of area from the Carboniferous Period to now.
Our new strategy sets out how BGS will help its stakeholders make more effective decisions to better manage the economy, the environment and society.
