The Africa Groundwater Atlas is an online resource developed by the BGS, in collaboration with hydrogeologists across Africa. This service presents layers showing the hydrogeology (aquifer type and productivity) and geology (with particular reference to hydrogeology) of 38 African countries.
-
OGC Web Feature Service (WFS) to provide minerals information for download as part of the EURARE, Minerals4EU and follow-on (e.g. GeoERA, GSEU) projects, and incorporated into the EGDI portal. The service provides complex features conforming to an extended INSPIRE minerals data model. Minerals4EU data have namespace GB.BGS.M4EU and EURARE data have namespace GB.BGS.EURARE. Service is using the MIN4EU v2025.1.05 data model

This INSPIRE network service provides an Atom feed of predefined datasets that are available for download.

The joint PHE-BGS digital Indicative Atlas of Radon in Great Britain presents an overview of the results of detailed mapping of radon potential, defined as the estimated percentage of homes in an area above the radon Action Level. The Indicative Atlas of Radon in Great Britain presents a simplified version of the Radon Potential Dataset for Great Britain with each 1-km grid square being classed according to the highest radon potential found within it, so is indicative rather than definitive. The joint PHE-BGS digital Radon Potential Dataset for Great Britain provides the current definitive map of radon Affected Areas in Great Britain.

This Web service provides a spatial index into the ground investigation (also known as site investigation) reports collection held by the British Geological Survey (BGS) in the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC). Because of the long history and composite nature of this collection, and the different methodologies which have been used to locate and spatially reference the reports, the accuracy of report areas varies within the collection. Some reports have been scanned, and where available, a download link to the scan is provided.

The BGS-HPA UK OneGeology Radon Potential Web map service provides access to the BGS-HPA UK OneGeology Radon Potential dataset. This service provides access to the BGS-HPA UK OneGeology Radon Potential data at scales smaller than 1:250,000.
-
This Web service provides the Indicative Atlas of Radon Potential for Great Britain dataset. Every building contains radon (Rn) but the levels are usually low. The chances of a higher level depend on the type of ground. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the BGS have published a map showing where high levels are more likely. The darker the colour, the greater the chance of a higher level of radon. The chance is less than one home in a hundred in the white areas and greater than one in three in the darkest areas.

The 1:50 000 scale GeoSure (natural ground stability) data covering the map sheets for Loughborough and Kilmarnock are available in this OGC WMS service for personal, non-commercial use only. This service is a contribution to the OneGeology-Europe initiative. For information about more of the British Geological Survey's maps and other digital products please visit http://www.bgs.ac.uk/products. MapServer software is used to provide this OGC WMS service.

This web service shows the centroids for countries for which there are minerals statistics data (Imports, Exports, Production) in the World Mineral Statistics database. A GetFeatureInfo request can retrieve some of the data for the country queried, but to get all data you should use the associated OGC WFS.

Data from the British Geological Survey's GeoIndex Map products theme are made available for viewing here. GeoIndex is a website that allows users to search for information about BGS data collections covering the UK and other areas world wide. Access is free, the interface is easy to use, and it has been developed to enable users to check coverage of different types of data and find out some background information about the data. More detailed information can be obtained by further enquiry via the web site: www.bgs.ac.uk/geoindex.
