The British Geological Survey (BGS) was awarded a grant from the Welsh Assembly Government Aggregates Levy Fund in 2009 to provide a comprehensive, relevant and accessible information base to...

Spawning and nursery grounds of forage fish in Welsh and surrounding waters from 2008 to 2020

The maps provide information on the location of spawning and nursery areas of several forage fish species in Welsh and surrounding waters, including the Irish and Celtic Seas and the western...

UKCCSRC Call 2 Project: Multiscale characterisation of CO2 storage in the United Kingdom

This is a partnership between Imperial College London and the British Geological Survey in which we combine our expertise in pore scale digital rock physics (DRP), reservoir condition Special Core...

Sulphides - Economically important geochemical messengers from the mantle (NERC Grant NE/L010828/1)

The project is aimed at understanding how a number of economically and geologically important chemical elements partition themselves between the silicates of the outer parts of the Earth and...

Paleomagnetic, rock-magnetic and paleointensity data from three early Paleozoic geological units: plutons of the Araçuaí orogen, Brazil; Gabbros of Aberdeenshire, Scotland; and a Silurian volcanic succession of the southern Britain

The dataset contains results from three early Paleozoic geological units: the approximately 500 Ma Santa Angélica and Venda Nova plutons of the Araçuaí orogen, Brazil; the approximately 470 Ma...

QICS Paper: Modelling Large-Scale CO2 Leakages in the North Sea

A three dimensional hydrodynamic model with a coupled carbonate speciation sub-model is used to simulate large additions of CO2 into the North Sea, representing leakages at potential carbon...

Habitat point records from 1982 OPRU Skomer littoral survey

This report describes the major littoral habitats and selected special sites together with their communities around Skomer Island and the adjacent Marloes peninsula. The information is provided in...

This report is a contribution to the Department of Trade and Industry's (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA2. It gives an overview of the...

FGS Target Area - Highland and Argyll Native Woodlands

This dataset identifies a target area, the purpose of which is to increase native woodland creation through Forestry Grant Scheme (FGS) applications in Highland and Argyll. The proposed new...

Species point records from 1982 OPRU Skomer littoral survey

This report describes the major littoral habitats and selected special sites together with their communities around Skomer Island and the adjacent Marloes peninsula. The information is provided in...

Land Capability for Agriculture - Prime Land

This dataset provides a digital boundary for Prime Agricultural Land (otherwise termed "best and most versatile") in Scotland based on an amalgamation of classes 1, 2 and 3.1 of the Land Capability...

Saiga antelope die-off and calving sites in Kazakhstan

This dataset records the Saiga antelope die-off and calving sites in Kazakhstan. It represents the locations (and where available dates) of (i) die-offs and (ii) normal calving events in the...

Topsoil physico-chemical properties from the UKCEH Countryside Survey, Great Britain, 2019

[THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN]. This dataset consists of measures of topsoil (0-15cm) physico-chemical properties from soils sampled from the first 100 1km squares across Great Britain in 2019...

A global Ediacaran-Cambrian Age Model of 130 geological successions, with radiometric ages (zircon U-Pb CA-ID-TIMS), carbon (δ13Ccarb) and strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isotope data (NERC Grant NE/T008458/1)

We present new age models for the Ediacaran-Cambrian which lacks a robust global temporal framework. This interval marks the radiation of animals, but there are major uncertainties in the...

QICS Paper: Response of the ammonia oxidation activity of microorganisms in surface sediment to a controlled sub-seabed release of CO2

The impact of a sub-seabed CO2 leak from geological sequestration on the microbial process of ammonia oxidation was investigated in the field. Sediment samples were taken before, during and after a...
