Our research aims to improve city resilience by integrating geology into urban subsurface planning and urban-catchment science in India and south-east Asia
The BGS has been working with the BCA on a range of projects to improve the knowledge of Singapore’s subsurface geology.
Project Iceberg aims to address the serious issue of the lack of information about the ground beneath our cities and the un-coordinated way in which the subsurface space is managed.
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.
The UK’s 14 Overseas Territories (UKOTs) are highly diverse islands, geographically dispersed around the world in different climate zones. Most are small islands that are particularly vulnerable to natural hazards and climate change.
Ascension Island is a subtropical volcanic island in the South Atlantic. The BGS is investigating subsurface processes to better understand the volcanic hazards that might occur again.
We are using citizen science for people to develop a shared understanding of hazardous phenomena and for communities to contribute to hazard forecasting and early warning.
