Services
Geological mapping
We create detailed geological maps using advanced surveying techniques and satellite data. Our maps help urban planners, engineers, and environmental scientists understand subsurface conditions. This service supports infrastructure development and natural hazard mitigation across the UK and internationally.
Hazard monitoring
Our real-time monitoring systems track seismic activity, landslides, and volcanic processes. We provide early warning systems and risk assessments for governments and emergency services. This work enhances community resilience to natural disasters through scientific data analysis.
Data licensing
We offer licensed access to over 400 geoscientific datasets. Our digital archives include borehole records, rock samples, and environmental monitoring data. This service supports academic research, commercial projects, and policy development with authoritative geological information.
Environmental research
Our scientists conduct cutting-edge research on climate change, groundwater systems, and resource sustainability. We investigate Earth processes to inform environmental policies and industrial practices. This work combines field observations with laboratory analysis and computational modelling.
Digital geoscience
We develop innovative digital tools including interactive map viewers and 3D geological models. Our OpenGeoscience platform provides free access to maps, photos, and datasets. This service promotes data transparency and supports geospatial analysis for diverse applications.
