Current BUFI research projects listed by BGS Science Area.
The BGS Geology datasets are digital geological maps of Great Britain based on the different series of published BGS geological maps.
The only way the UK can reach its target of net zero emissions by 2050 is by taking a better look below the surface, say experts from BGS and geologists from across the UK.
Applications range from mineral exploration and waste management, to monitoring active processes within the subsurface, such as the movement of pollutants, or the flow of groundwater in unstable slopes affecting infrastructure.
The 1:50 000-scale geological maps for England, Wales and Scotland and have been made available to view as a WMS service. Layers for bedrock, superficial deposits and geological linear features are included.
These geological maps provide UK onshore geological data at 1:625 000 scale and UK continental shelf sea-bed sediment data at 1:1 million scale as a WMS.
