British Geological Survey (BGS)

The British Geological Survey (BGS) is the national agency responsible for studying the geology of Great Britain. Established in 1835, it conducts research on the Earth's structure, processes, and resources, providing vital information for natural resource management, environmental protection, and hazard assessment, such as landslides and earthquakes. BGS produces maps, reports, and datasets that support government, researchers, and industry in making informed decisions. By improving our understanding of geological processes, BGS plays a key role in sustainable development and helps manage natural resources effectively.
