Carbon capture and storage involves capturing carbon dioxide at emission sources, such as power stations, then transporting and storing it underground.
BGS is committed to research aimed at slowing down the effects of a changing climate, whilst helping society to become resilient to climate change.
Geological records demonstrate that there have been a number of large variations in Earth’s climate in the past.
Temperature rises can affect agriculture, sea levels and the frequency of extreme weather incidents. We can study past climate change by looking at the evidence in rocks, fossils and changes in the landscape.
Gases in the Earth's atmosphere act as an insulating blanket around the planet, trapping more of the Sun’s heat.
Current BUFI research projects listed by BGS Science Area.
A large new solar panel array on the roof of the BGS Core Store is expected to result in a significant reduction in our carbon footprint.
Discovering Geology introduces a range of geoscience topics to school-age students and learners of all ages.
