Joule II Project Paper: The Joule II project the underground disposal of carbon dioxide

In January 1993, as part of the Joule II Non-nuclear Energy Research Programme, the European Commission initiated a two year study of the potential for the disposal of industrial quantifies of...

EU Project Report: Choosing good sites for storing CO2 underground Research highlights from the EU FP7 SiteChar Project

The objective of the EU SiteChar Project was to facilitate the implementation of CO2 geological storage in Europe by developing a methodology for the assessment of potential storage sites and the...

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...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
