BGS Geology - 625k (DiGMapGB-625) 2008

Data identifying landscape areas (shown as polygons) attributed with geological names. The scale of the data is 1:625 000 providing a simplified interpretation of the geology and may be used as a...

BGS Earth Material Classes (concepts)

BGS Earth Material Classes (concepts) is a classification of all types of earth material or other substance that may be recorded in a geological log or section (BGS Rock Classification Scheme...

Engineering Properties: Discontinuities

This dataset is a characterisation of discontinuity types found within rocks and soils in Great Britain. Discontinuities are breaks, fractures or planes of weakness in the rock mass. The dataset...

DiSECCS - Diagnostic Seismic Toolbox for Efficient Control of CO2 Storage. Final Summary report: Work packages 1 - 4. BGS Report OR/17/002.

EPSRC project EP/K035878/1 - Report summarising scientific findings from Work Packages 1 to 4 of the DiSECCS project. These include advanced seismic methods for assessing pressure changes and fluid...

In-situ rock deformation and micron-scale crack network evolution: a high-resolution time-resolved x-ray micro-tomography dataset (NERC Grant NE/R001693/1)

This collection comprises two time-series of 3D in-situ synchrotron x-ray microtomography (μCT) volumes showing two Ailsa Craig micro-granite samples (ACfresh02 and ACHT01) undergoing triaxial...

Hydrothermal fluid modelling for pH in alkaline hosts (NERC grant NE/M010848/1)

This study explored the links between host rock composition, hydrothermal fluid composition (particularly pH), and the resulting ore minerals and deposits. The progressive water–rock reaction...

BGS Seabed Geology 10k: Bristol Channel v2

The BGS Seabed Geology 10k: Bristol Channel v.2 digital map provides detailed and accurate characterisation of the seabed geology, based on seabed and shallow-subsurface data. This dataset...

Determination of Hydraulic Properties of distributed Fractures Using Seismic Techniques

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. We propose to develop innovative seismic techniques for establishing links between hydraulic or fluid flow properties (porosity, permeability, connectivity) and...

Zaonega Formation, core 12AB, organic carbon, nitrogen and metal geochemistry (NERC Grant NE/V010824/1)

Demonstration of hydrothermal ammonium mobilization in the Paleoproterozoic with possible implications for biological productivity. The data include organic carbon and nitrogen abundances and...

Habitat point records from 1977 SWBSS Lundy sublittoral survey

The present survey was carried out in order to describe the range and extent of the sublittoral habitats present around Lundy. The survey was also intended to test methods for quick survey and...

Species point records from 1977 SWBSS Lundy sublittoral survey

The present survey was carried out in order to describe the range and extent of the sublittoral habitats present around Lundy. The survey was also intended to test methods for quick survey and...

Microfossils - Raw Dataset

Microfossil samples submitted to the BGS are currently registered using the prefix 'MPA'. Samples include rock, residues from sample preparations, and slides of mounted specimens. Rock, residues...

Pore-Scale Dissolution by CO2 Saturated Brine in a Multi-Mineral Carbonate at Reservoir Conditions: Impact of Physical and Chemical Heterogeneity

The datasets contain 40 time-resolved segmented X-ray micro-tomographic images showing mineral dissolution of carbonate rock samples containing dolomite and calcite via CO2 acidified brine fluid...

Hydrogeological map of the UK and Isle of Man

The map shows the potential for the rocks to supply groundwater and the type of groundwater flow within the rocks. The dataset reattributes polygons in the Digital Geological Map Data of Great...

The Dalradian 'Snowball Earth' - Use of Stable Isotopes to Correlate Glacial Events and Neoproterozoic Stratigraphy of Scotland and Ireland

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - Data archived in BGS Digital Archive. The 'snowball Earth' theory has been the subject of widespread media attention, particularly its lively defence by key proponent, Prof....
