As part of its ongoing research, BGS have developed a number of software tools to advance their understanding of scientific systems and help them model geological and hydrogeological processes. These software have been made available for anyone to use.
System for Integrated Geoscience MApping (SIGMA)
BGS·SIGMA is an integrated toolkit for digital geological mapping, which enables the assembly, capture, interrogation and visualisation of geological information.
Groundhog Desktop
Groundhog Desktop is an integrated tool for geological interpretation and modelling work
CLiDE environmental modelling platform
The CAESAR-Lisflood-DESC (CLiDE) platform, is a quasi-three-dimensional geomorphological simulator that couples cellular automata modelling from various backgrounds.
GISGroundwater
BGS GISGroundwater is an add-in to ArcGIS that models the depth to groundwater beneath the land surface.
LithoFrame Viewer
Many of our geological models can be viewed and interrogated using the LithoFrame Viewer application.
