BGS offshore marine products (OGC WxS INSPIRE)

BGS offshore marine products are made available to view via this web map service. The 1:250 000 scale offshore geological maps in the UTM series (Universal Transverse Mercator projection) are...

Chemical analysis data derived from NERC grant NE/I025573/1, When on Earth did modern plate tectonics begin?

Earth is a dynamic planet, for the simple reason that it is still cooling down from the heat of accretion and subsequent decay of radioactive elements. The main mechanism by which it loses heat is...

Direct-shear experimental data on sedimentary gouge samples under high confining pressure and sliding velocity steps

This dataset contains raw experimental direct shear testing data as presented by "Ougier-Simonin, A., Castagna, A., Walker, R. J., & Benson, P. M. (2018). Frictional and mechanical behavior of...

Direct shear strength testing data on sedimentary gouge samples under high confining pressure

This dataset contains raw experimental direct shear testing data as presented by "Ougier-Simonin, A., Castagna, A., Benson, P. and Walker, R. (2017). Direct shear characterisation of simulated...

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...

BGS Geology 50k Linear version 9

Linear features (shown as polylines) in BGS Geology 50k are used to portray geological features and concepts that are normally depicted on maps in linear form, rather than polygonal form. The data...

Limestone Pavement Orders - Craven District Council

Limestone pavements are outcrops of limestone where the surface has been worn away by natural means over millennia. These rocks have the appearance of paving blocks, hence their name. Not only do...

2005 English Nature The Dee Estuary Biotope Survey

A Natural England commissioned survey conducted by the Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Studies (IECS). The survey aimed to standardise fauna, and the information for mud/sand habitats and...

Priority 1 Gritting Routes

Gritting is the spreading of rock salt on the highway to prevent it freezing in cold weather. We grit the highway to help minimise travel disruption and keep the flow of traffic moving along.More...

Priority 2 Gritting Routes

Gritting is the spreading of rock salt on the highway to prevent it freezing in cold weather. We grit the highway to help minimise travel disruption and keep the flow of traffic moving along.More...

Rb/Sr ratio vs Nd model age of the new continental crust (NERC NE/K008862/1)

A worldwide compilation of 14,261 analyses of Nd, Sm, Rb and Sr concentrations, and Nd and Sr isotopes, in crustal rocks with a range of crystallisation ages. These data were used in Dhuime et al....

Determination of the water content of the Archaean mantle

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. The freshest available Archaean (3.5 and 2.7 ga) and young komatiites, including very fresh Belingwe olivine with melt inclusions and newly collected Barberton rock...

Misinformation and disinformation in London: risks and responses

GLA City Intelligence rapid evidence review – March 2026 This note provides a rapid review of evidence on misinformation and disinformation, focusing on risks and potential responses relevant to...

Geohazard Assessment of Soluble Deposits

**No longer exists - now part of GeoSure**An assessment of the potential for an area to be affected by geological deposits that have suffered or are suffering dissolution through natural processes....

CO2-induced salt precipitation test in sandstone (NERC Grant NE/R013535/1)

Here we present the dataset collected during a CO2 flow-through test using a synthetic sandstone of high porosity and permeability, originally saturated with high salinity brine, performed under...

Species point records from 1977 SWBSS Ramsey sublittoral survey

The survey describes the range of sublittoral habitats and populations of plants and animals present around Ramsey Island and the offshore rocks. Systematic survey sites were located on Ordnance...

Eryri Montane Lake Bryophyte Survey 2024

Rocks along the shores of montane lakes in Eryri have been found to be an important bryophyte habitat, supporting a range of rare and threatened bryophytes that grow only in this habitat. Due to...
