Digital Models of Heterogeneous Sandstone and Carbonate Rock Cores

This dataset contains digital models of three carbonate (Indiana limestone, Estaillades limestone and Edwards Brown Dolomite) and two sandstone (Bentheimer and Bunter) cores with varying degrees of...

Prediction of outcrops or subcrops of rock in UK shelf seabed (public)

Prediction of the presence of rock at outcrop or subcrop at the seabed across the UK shelf area. This shapefile was produced through a semi-automated approach, using a Random Forest model combined...

Gorst Road petrographic archival rock specimen collection

Named after the former BGS sample store at Gorst Road, London, this archival collection of c.600 rocks is made up of a series of sub-collections donated by past senior members of the Geological...

The BGS Lexicon of Named Rock Units

The Lexicon of Named Rock Units provides definitions of lithostratigraphic, lithodemic, and litho-morpho-genetic geological units of the United Kingdom and its associated continental shelf. The...

Understanding the Micro-to-Macro Behaviour of Rock-Fluid Systems - M2M

The M2M Thematic Programme funded 17 scientific investigation projects leading to more unified physical understanding of fluid flow distributions in heterogeneous rock. The programme focused on...

Scaling Properties of Fluid Flow in Fractured Rocks

This proposal is to test the hypothesis that secondary (crack) porosity can be treated as a scaling problem in both fracture and fluid percolation theory. This will be achieved by measurements of...

2016 Keith Hiscock Lundy Intertidal Survey of Gannet's Rock

Keith Hiscock, Sarah Fowler, Greg Lingard, and Esther Hughes surveyed the granite boulder intertidal community at Gannet's Rock, Lundy. The aim of the survey was to re-survey the place where...

BGS Petrological Rock Samples from Overseas Surveys and Projects

Rocks, thin sections and paper registers: samples from past BGS surveys and projects overseas. Though neglected for several years, the collection has been re-opened for addition of new material...

Miscellaneous rocks collection (former museum reserve collection)

Important collection of >37 000 rocks of historic and scientific value, incorporating the Former Reserve collection of the Geological Museum (South Kensington) but with recent additions, and...

Dalradian Carbonate Rock Geochemistry Database.

The database contains a range of geochemical data for metamorphosed limestones from the Dalradian of Scotland and Northern Ireland. The data include a) whole-rock geochemical analyses by XRF (X-Ray...

Digital images of petrology rock thin sections

Digital images of petrology rock thin sections from samples that are referenced in the BGS Petrological Collection Database (Britrocks). Two reference images are being captured for each thin...

Poole Rocks Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) Survey Infauna Data - 2013

Counts and presence/absence of species of macrofauna identified from 24 grab samples collected at Poole Rocks Marine Conservation Zone between the 8th and 13th July 2013. The data were collected...

Nirex rock cores and core samples from deep boreholes

During the period from 1989 to 1997, Nirex undertook extensive geological investigations at sites near Sellafield, in Cumbria, and Dounreay, in Caithness, to examine whether or not they were...

Crushed rock-water experimental data investigating the role of temperature in generating hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide from silicate rocks (NERC Grants NE/W005506/1, NE/S001670/1)

The data was generated from a range of laboratory experiments where a range of silicate rocks (granite, basalt, peridotite) were crushed in oxygen-free conditions, deoxygenated water added, and the...

Localized Flow in Fractured Rock Masses: Mechanisms, Modelling and Characterization

Coupled (mechanical-hydraulic) numerical models based on the distinct element method will be used to investigate the behaviour of fluid flow in fractured rock-masses under stress. Flow localization...
