The BGS Seabed Sediments 250k dataset is vector data which reflects the distribution of seabed substrate types of the UK and some of its adjacent waters (the UK Exclusive Economic Zone, EEZ) at 1:250,000 scale. This comprehensive dataset provides a digital compilation of the paper maps published by BGS at the same scale, as well as additional re-interpretations from regional geological studies. The seabed is commonly covered by sediments that form a veneer or thicker superficial layer of unconsolidated mat...

A collection of small-scale non-series maps which offer whole-country coverage of the United Kingdom 1856-2013. Included in the collection are geological, tectonic, structural, mineral resource and geophysical maps, together with a small number of historical facsimile maps. Key geological maps included in the collection which ran to many editions are Geology of the British Islands 1:584 000 and the Geological Map of Great Britain 1:625 000. These maps are hard-copy paper records stored in the National Geos...

The collection of map series held by BGS which correspond to the outputs of discrete projects. The maps often focus on a specific theme, and / or may have limited spatial coverage. The thematic maps include the following series: Applied Geology Maps (AGMs), also known as Environmental Geology Maps (EGMs) or Planning for Development maps, which were produced between 1975 and 1996 as part of 'geological background for planning and development' and preliminary sand and gravel projects carried out on behalf of...

Iso-content maps of Bismuth (Bi), one of the chemical elements.obtained in the Geochemical Atlas of Spain Project, distributed in stream sediments (14,864 samples), superficial soils (0-20 cm.) (13,505 samples) and deeper soils (20-40 cm.) (7,682 samples). The results of the chemical analysis are shown in two types: total dissolution of the sample with 4 acids and partial dissolution with aqua regia. With the analytical results of all the sampled points, an isocontent map is made with adjustment to a squar...

Location of 28 submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) sites in the Baltic sea compiled within the Bonus Seamount project, further described on website BONUS Seamount – New surveillance tools for remote sea monitoring and their application on submarine groundwater discharge and seabed surveys (https://seamount.eu/)

Onshore and offshore borehole database of the national territory carried out by the National Laboratory of Energy and Geology (LNEG) or private operators and respective technical reports.

Maps showing the feasibility of borehole heat exchangers, considering chosen environmental conditions. Maps are the result of spatial analyses showing 3 types (classes) of areas with the division whether there are contraindications to the construction of a boreholes for ground source heat exchangers (GHE):- installation without contraindications - no adverse environmental conditions;- conditional installation - construction of the installation is conditionally possible (local environmental conditions shoul...

This dataset shows the location of offshore boreholes and samples. The purpose of this dataset is solely to get an overview and find out to get the actual data. The attributes “source” and “metadata_uri” tells the user who to contact to get more information. The attributes detailedDescription and geologyDescription occasionally contains links to more detailed information.

The borehole index contains basic borehole information (name, purpose, location, age, depth etc.), on a European level, for boreholes harvested from a number of national databases of mainly Geological Surveys. The data is harvested by BRGM as part of the EPOS project and the data is also available on the EGDI portal.
