PROJECT DETAILS ONLY. A complete picture of the processes occurring on seismically active faults is the essential prerequisite for the reliable assessment and mitigation of earthquake hazards. But...

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. This proposal seeks to test the hypothesis that a mantle hotspot was responsible for generating boninite magmas in the Izu - Bonin - Mariana (IBM) arc during the...

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. The nature of ice-sheet flow between Ridge B and the Vostok sub-ice lake will be determined from a series of measurements and numerical models. Datasets available...

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. Multi anvil presses (MAPS) are used worldwide for high p/t work. The 'Walker cell' has made maps more accessible for earth sciences research. A Walker cell is...

Compilation of information gathered by Dr Richard Rumbold for Kingsbridge area of Devon. Collected for revision of geological sheets 355 and 356.

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. Olivine, the major component of the Earth's upper mantle, is known to contain water in the form of H defects. These defects have a significant effect on the...

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. The research will experimentally test the ice-segregation model of rock fracture in the context of near-surface bedrock. Experiments at the Caen Cold Laboratories...

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. This project will investigate the dynamical consequences of strongly non-linear and coupled property changes that occur when magmas erupt from an open-system magma...

The database contains colour and black and white prints and negatives of satellite images of the UK and various locations scattered around the world. It includes data from the Landsat, SPOT,...

The collection consists of borehole drill logs, site plans, borehole location plans, geological plans and completion plans for opencast coal sites in Scotland and Northern England. It includes...

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 geological records for Scotland and Northern England of current or semi-current interest filed in order of accession. Some 65 accessions held which will be subject to review for...

The K-index scale summarises geomagnetic activity at an observatory by assigning a code, an integer in the range 0 to 9 (0 being the least active field and 9 the most active field) to each 3-hour...

Old card index of quarries in England, Wales and Scotland dating mostly from 1939 to 1963: about 7000 cards, each referring to one quarry. England & Wales cards are arranged by BGS 1-inch (now 50k...
