Active and previous research projects.
The BGS information management (geology) project populates and maintains a number of key geological databases and other information systems.
Investigating geothermal energy — energy stored in the form of heat beneath the surface of the solid Earth.
Geothermal energy is available across the UK in different geological settings. It can be used to produce thermal (and in some places electrical) energy for a wide range of uses.
Collecting and preserving geoscientific data, making it available to a wide range of users and communities.
Guidelines for depositing data with NGDC.
The BGS is a data-rich organisation. Our data science and data infrastructure are fundamental to our future research and underpin our strategic challenges.
