BGS·SIGMA is an integrated toolkit for digital geological mapping, enabling the assembly, capture, interrogation and visualisation of geological information.
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.
Major transport projects create and utilise excavated materials to create underpinning infrastructure (in the form of tunnels, cuttings and embankments).
Recently there has been a trend towards the collection of ever-more quantitative data, as exemplified by the Tellus projects.
Based on medium emissions scenario, provides five levels of susceptibility for average, wetter and drier climate conditions for the time-period envelopes of 2020, 2030, 2040, 2050 and 2080 at the 1:50 000 area polygons scale.
An improved understanding of groundwater quality threats could help better manage groundwater resources and mitigate threats to global water supplies.
For stakeholders with an interest in soil composition, health and productivity.
