British Geological Survey

The British Geological Survey (BGS) is a national organization in the UK that provides authoritative information about the geology and landscapes of the country. It conducts research and mapping to understand the earth’s structure, resources, and processes. This includes studying rock formations, minerals, groundwater, and natural hazards like earthquakes and landslides. The BGS aims to inform government policy, support environmental management, and facilitate sustainable use of geological resources. Their work is crucial for industries such as construction, energy, and water supply, as well as for public safety and environmental protection.
