Geothermal energy is all energy stored in the form of heat beneath the surface of the solid earth. It is a reliable and constant source of low-carbon, renewable heat that is not dependent on weather conditions.
Assessing geological hazard information to improve detection and forecasting of geo-hazards and build on current disaster risk management practices.
We are undertaking research aimed at reducing vulnerability, protecting resources and building resilience in response to substantial environmental changes.
Decarbonisation of power production, heat, transport and industry is a major challenge and one that intrinsically involves geoscience.
The marine geoscientists at BGS provide independent and expert geological advice, research and data acquisition to anyone working in the marine environment.
The hazard and resilience modelling team aims to develop new and innovative data products that deliver geoscientific information to a range of users in an accessible form.
The BGS urban geoscience research group provides solutions for urban land-use planning and sustainable development.
Where earthquakes occur around the world and in the UK.
