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.
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.
A short walk around Holyrood Park provides an insight into the geological history of area from the Carboniferous Period to now.
BGS Business Development help identify and access funding, through commissioned research projects, partnerships, research grants, data licensing, and products royalties.
The Nirex geological archive was transferred to the BGS during 2000 and 2001. We agreed to retain the records for a minimum of 50 years as part of the NGR.
The BGS is a data-rich organisation. Our data science and data infrastructure are fundamental to our future research and underpin our strategic challenges.
