We carry out an integrated programme of mapping, testing, monitoring and modelling to describe the physical properties of the UK landmass and how it behaves in a changing climate
High resolution viewing of images of almost all small and medium scale maps produced by BGS since mapping started in 1832.
A web-based tool developed by the BGS in collaboration with the Environment Agency that provides an indication of whether the conditions for ground loop systems exist in a given area

TellusSW VOGRIPA Data in
KML Format
Tellus South West provides scientific data to benefit south west England by identifing new opportunities for sustainable use of natural resources, and assisting with improving the quality of water and soil
VOGRIPA aims to provide systematic information on global volcanic activity, hazards and vulnerability to identify locations at high risk from volcanism and gaps in knowledge about hazards and risk
KML files allow data to be visualised in Google Earth and Google Maps. Other GIS software, geobrowsers, virtual globes and web-based mapping applications such as MapTube can also read data in this format
