UKCCSRC Call 1 Project: QICS2 Scoping Project - Exploring the viability and scientific opportunities of a follow-on marine impact project

A key element of risk assessment for the geological storage of CO2 offshore is the monitoring of transport of leaks from the subsurface via shallow sediments in the marine environment, including...

Map based index (GeoIndex) Aquifer Vulnerability Maps

This layer of the map based index (GeoIndex) shows where aquifer vulnerability maps are available for England and Wales. These maps identify areas in which the groundwater resources require...

GeoSure landslides (slope instability) version 8

This dataset provides an assessment of slope instability. Landslide hazard occurs due to particular slope characteristics (such as geology, gradient, sources of water, drainage, man-made...

Fully Determined Fluid Velocity Fields for Complex 2D Media with Multi-Scaled Heterogeneity

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. This project will use the techniques of stereolithography and PIV directly to measure the fluid velocity field in complex, 2D, geologically realistic media with...

GeoSure Extra: Shrink-Swell Subsurface v1

This addition to the GeoSure ground stability data consists of a single data layer in Geographical Information System (GIS) format that identifies areas of potential shrink-swell hazard at subcrop...

Legacy BGS geothermal models: depth to the base Permian in the Cheshire (Collyhurst Sandstone Formation) and Worcester (Bridgnorth Sandstone Formation) basins

This vector contour dataset represents the modelled depth in metres to the base of the Permo-Triassic in the Worcester and Cheshire basins, considered for their hot sedimentary aquifer geothermal...

EU Project Report: Saline Aquifer CO2 Storage (SACS2). Final report, geological characterisation of the Utsira Sand reservoir and caprocks (Work Area 1)

This report forms part of the international SACS (Saline Aquifer CO2 Storage) project. The project aims to monitor and predict the behaviour of injected CO2 in the Utsira Sand reservoir at the...

Legacy BGS geothermal models: depth to the top Upper Devonian in hot sedimentary aquifers in the Midland Valley of Scotland

This raster dataset represents the depth in metres to the top of the Upper Devonian in the Midland Valley of Scotland (top Kinnesswood Formation) over the extent of the model developed by Kearsey,...

GeoSure Slope Instability

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...

Developing Testate amoebae analyses for improving precision in Holocene sea-level reconstruction

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. A pilot study in the Taf estuary, South Wales (Carman et al., in press) has demonstrated the potential of Testate amoebae analyses in reconstructing high-resolution...

Concentrations and antibiotic resistance of faecal indicator organisms and human pathogens associated with sewage waste on Scottish beaches, 2021

The data includes concentrations of faecal indicator organisms isolated from the plastic waste and natural substrates found on Scottish beaches, as well as the antibiotic resistance of selected...
