Marine Photographs Archive (1970 onwards)

The Marine Photographs Archive held by BGS includes photographs of hydrocarbon well and (non-hydrocarbon) marine boreholes, cores and other samples. There are also photographs of the seabed and...

QICS Paper: Perceptions of sub-seabed carbon dioxide storage in Scotland and implications for policy: A qualitative study

The geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) offers notable potential, as part of larger carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) processes, to be a significant climate change mitigation...

Hydrochemical, isotopic, hydrogeological and geological data from field studies of weathered crystalline rock aquifers in Tanzania and Uganda

Data for Uganda includes analytical, field, isotope and borehole data. Data for Tanzania includes chemistry, field, isotope and borehole data. Borehole data from the Makutopora Wellfield is also...

The Effects of Hydrate on the Strength and Stiffness of Sands (NERC grant NE/K00008X/1)

This database is from series of laboratory experiments designed to explore the effect of hydrate cementaion on some sands. This dataset is part of NERC Arctic Landslide-Tsunami Project...

Monitoring of the Atlantic Woodland Bryophyte Assemblage in Coed Graig Uchaf SSSI

Coed Graig Uchaf SSSI (32.5 ha) was designated in 1987 and was selected as an example of a woodland with a rich oceanic bryophyte flora. The first comprehensive bryophyte survey of the site was...

2023 - ongoing University of Plymouth (UoP) Isles of Scilly Trawling Impact BACI Survey

A new byelaw is expected to be passed which will close 43% of the Isles of Scilly district to bottom-towed fishing gear. The byelaw will allow permits to be distributed to up to six fishing vessels...

Micromechanics of shear failure in a porous rock: a combined dataset of high-resolution time-resolved 3D x-ray micro-tomography volumes and local 3D strain fields with contemporaneous acoustic emissions and ultrasonic velocity survey waveforms

This dataset shows both the micro-scale mechanisms and acoustic response involved in shear failure of a deforming porous rock. To our knowledge, this is the first such dataset to combine...

British Geological Survey (BGS) Geophysical Survey 2003/1: Regional Study: Hatton-Rockall (11/Aug/2003 to 28/Aug/2003)

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical survey took place during August 2003 on the UK Continental Shelf west of the United Kingdom, specifically in the Rockall and Hatton basins on...

Two-phase modeling of water partitioning between liquid iron and silicate melt (NERC Grant NE/S01134X/1)

The two-phase modeling of water between liquid iron and silicate melt at 50 and 135 gigapascals (corresponding to 3500 and 4200 kelvin) was performed by using ab initio molecular dynamics...

Water isotope data from Yaal Chac (lake), nearby groundwater and local precipitation (NERC grant NE/K00610X/1)

Surface waters and shallow groundwater samples were collected by completely filling 30 mL polyethylene bottles, which were then sealed with electrical tape to minimise the risk of evaporative loss....

Free energy calculations of noble-gas containing liquid iron and silicate melt (NERC Grant NE/S01134X/1)

Free energy calculations of noble-gas containing liquid iron and silicate melts at 50 GPa (3500 K) and 135 GPa (4200 K). The chemical potentials of noble gases can be obtained from these...
