The BGS Geochemical Baseline Survey of the Environment (G-BASE) was the national strategic geochemical mapping programme in Great Britain. The project set out to establish the chemistry of the...

A series of tiled models of superficial thickness covering the UK. The models are derived by direct modelling (natural neighbour interpolation) of BGS borehole records and BGS DiGMapGB-50. For the...

Data identifying landscape areas (shown as polygons) attributed with geological names. The scale of the data is 1:10 000 scale. Onshore coverage is partial with approximately 30% of England,...

The dataset indicates the potential for hazard in Great Britain as a result of mineral extraction. It excludes areas of Coal mining as these are covered by the Coal Authority. It is based on a...

**NO LONGER EXISTS**Data detailing the distribution and severity of dissolution (karst) features throughout the UK. The data is stored locally as ArcView shape files with associated database...

3200 mineral veins (i.e. lead, fluorspar) of the Southern Pennine Orefield within the Peak District National Park captured as a single dataset in 1983 from BGS 1:10 560 published maps with...

Data identifying landscape areas (shown as polygons) attributed with geological names. The scale of the dataset is 1:250 000, providing a generalised geology. Onshore coverage is provided for all...

The foreign sliced rock or 'F' collection consists of about 10, 000 specimens and thin sections, cited by their 'F' numbers. These include material archived from recent overseas projects and much...

Database of water levels in selected observation boreholes: daily, weekly or monthly measurements. Consistent set of boreholes in catchments relatively undisturbed by pumping distributed across...

This data set is an inventory of aerial photographs held at BGS, Murchison House office and consists of a MS Excel spreadsheet containing 11 worksheets. Each worksheet contains information...

BGS ran a series of Rubidium Vapour magnetometer stations, mainly in the UK, but also overseas. Data is held on 3 batches of CDs. The largest batch consists of 20CDs containing data from 1977 to...

THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN **This dataset was created for the "Britain beneath our feet" atlas using information extracted from the Geochemical Baseline Survey Of The Environment (G-BASE) For...

Coal resource maps for the whole of the UK have been produced by the British Geological Survey as a result of joint work with Department of Trade and Industry and the Coal Authority. The Coal...

This is a set of data points for constructing a seismic hazard map of the UK, plotting the intensity (EMS) with a return period of 475 years, equivalent to a 90% probability of not being exceeded...

Derived from data collated from the 2005 Aggregate Minerals Survey, carried out by BGS for the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) which provide an in-depth and up-to-date...

The dataset contains detailed Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), generated from Airborne LiDAR. The data is owned by the Environment Agency and is provided to BGS for research use only. Very limited...

Records of some 3500 waste sites in England and Wales identified by BGS as part of a survey carried out on behalf of the Department of the Environment in 1973. Information is included on the...

The commercial GeoReports project, under the National Geoscience Information Service sector of the Information Systems and Management directorate, produces around 8000 GeoReports a year, giving an...

Several coal resource maps for the whole of the UK have been produced by the British Geological Survey as a result of joint work with Department of Trade and Industry and the Coal Authority. The...

The dataset describes the potential of superficial deposit aquifers across Scotland to sustain various levels of borehole water supply, based on four productivity classes: high; moderate to high;...
