GeoSure compressible deposits version 8

This dataset provides an assessment of the potential for a geological deposit to compress under an applied load, a characteristic usually of superficial deposits such as peat or alluvium. Some...

GeoSure Compressible Deposits

The GeoSure data sets and reports from the British Geological Survey provide information about potential ground movement or subsidence in a helpful and user-friendly format. The reports can help...

Soluble rocks dataset (5km Hex-Grid) version 7

The 5km Hex GS Soluble Rocks dataset shows a generalised view of the GeoSure Soluble Rocks v7 dataset to a hexagonal grid resolution of 64.95km coverage area (side length of 5km). This dataset...

The 5km Hex GS Soluble Rocks dataset shows a generalised view of the GeoSure Soluble Rocks v8 dataset to a hexagonal grid resolution of 64.95km coverage area (side length of 5km). This dataset...

GeoSure collapsible deposits version 8

The Collapsible Ground dataset provides an assessment of the potential for a geological deposit to collapse (to subside rapidly) as a consequence of a metastable microfabric in loessic material....

GeoSure Collapsible Deposits

The GeoSure datasets and related reports from the British Geological Survey provide information about potential ground movement due to six types of natural geological hazard, in a helpful and...

2002 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA3 Technical report - Geology, North Sea (Addendum to SEA2 report)

This report is a contribution to the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA3) conducted by the Department of Trade and Industry (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) and is an addendum to...

Raw data, model outputs and plotting scripts resulting from NERC Grant NE/L011050/2: Rethinking carbonate diagenesis: clues to past carbon cycling from an overlooked carbon sink

Supplemental files (plotting scripts, tables) in support of Greene et al., 2019. Early Cenozoic Decoupling of Climate and Carbonate Compensation Depth Trends....

Location of Gypsum Dissolution Cavities by Seismic Reflection Surveying

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. In the north of England, the dissolution of gypsum by groundwater is responsible for many subsidence features where gypsum beds lie within 100m of the ground...

Coal mining court orders

In parts of the country, the High Court may have issued an order allowing a mine owner or mining operator to work coal where no previous mining lease was in existence. The Court may also have made...

GeoSure shrink swell deposits version 8

This dataset provides an assessment of the potential for a geological deposit to shrink and swell. Many soils contain clay minerals that absorb water when wet (making them swell), and lose water as...

GeoSure Shrink Swell Deposits

The GeoSure data sets and reports from the British Geological Survey provide information about potential ground movement or subsidence in a helpful and user-friendly format. The reports can help...

Fissures and Breaklines

This dataset maps fissure and breakline features stored in the National Coal Mining Database. Fissures are a crack or opening in rock or the earth, created by mining in certain circumstances and...

BGS GeoSure Shrink Swell 3D for London and Thames Valley

The BGS GeoSure Shrink Swell 3D data is a regional hazard susceptibility map that identifies areas of potential shrink–swell hazard, in three dimensional space, at intervals down to 20m in the...

2001 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA2 Technical report - North Sea Geology, covering subsurface geology, sea-bed sediments, sediment mobility and seismicity.

This report is a contribution to the Department of Trade and Industry's (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA2. This review presents a summary of...

Mine Entry Potential Zone of Influence

A Mine Entry with Potential Zone of Influence is the area of the ground that might be affected if subsidence of the mine entry was to occur. Each mine entry has a zone of influence buffer around...

Mine Entry Zone of Influence

A Mine Entry with Potential Zone of Influence is the area of the ground that might be affected if subsidence of the mine entry was to occur. It highlights the area on the surface that could...
