Our research aims to improve city resilience by integrating geology into urban subsurface planning and urban-catchment science in India and south-east Asia
Mining hazards considers the long and varied legacy of underground extraction of minerals in Great Britain. Previous research has defined the spatial extent of non-coal mining and now the BGS isinvestigating the 'zone of influence' around areas of underground mining.
Find out about the different types of volcanic hazards that put human lives, livelihoods or infrastructure at risk of harm.
Measuring, recording and analysing near-surface geological hazards including landslides, sinkholes and discontinuities.
Identifying communities that are particularly vulnerable to future earthquake hazards.
BUFI is the home of doctoral research at the BGS, which is one of the UK’s largest providers of postgraduate research training in geoscience.
