This is a spatial dataset containing polygons representing different geology types in the Moor House National Nature Reserve, northern Pennines, England. The survey was undertaken by G.A.L. Johnson under a grant by The Nature Conservancy in the 1950s and 1960s. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/0e3aefb2-ce86-4d09-8ff0-6d165dfd48db

This dataset contains information about multiple palaeoecological proxies – pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs, spores, microcharcoal, plant macrofossils and macrocharcoal – generated from stand-scale (forest hollow-based) analyses of Cambusurich Wood Site of Special Scientific Interest, Scotland (Ordnance Survey grid reference: NN 62741 34679). The site’s chronology and loss-on-ignition (LOI) analyses are also provided. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/60952512-b682-4bd6-a609-365f64944fda

Direct geological observations made during field work, tied to positional information collected by hand-held GPS.

The database contains scanned images of borehole and site investigation records acquired by BGS in its role as the National Geological Records Centre. The first phase of the programme was completed in 1992 and has been supplemented by additional data acquired through occasional projects. The data are available as raster files or hardcopy, not as text files. The availability of scanned images is restricted to a few major conurbations including Newcastle upon Tyne and Telford.

Reference books, produced to accompany many of the 1:50 000 scale (district) maps, which describe the extent, nature and structure of the rock strata of the district. They often also include details of the geophysics, geochemistry, hydrogeology and economic geology of the district.

Scanned images of the records of onshore Great Britain (or near shore) site investigation reports held in the BGS archives in paper, microfilm or digital format. The entire collections in BGS Edinburgh have been scanned, but in BGS Keyworth currently only new reports received since 2002. Scanning started in 2002 and is ongoing with new records being scanned and added to the collection. Images are stored in TIFF format (Tagged Image File Format). Indexed on the site investigation database and the boreholes within the report, and their images, are associated via the borehole database.

GeoIndex Historical Surveys This aeromagnetic survey was carried out by Canadian Aeroservices on behalf of the Northern Ireland Government in 1959 as part of a UK wide survey.

The Land Survey Archives consists of records of the Geological Survey in Scotland for permanent retention dating from 1860s onwards. The collection comprises geologists' field notebooks, miscellaneous field observations and reports, historical and biographical material, correspondence files, photographs, etc. Includes archival material deposited by outside individuals and organisations, eg. NCB (National Coal Board) Bore Book Collection. Survey archival material for Northern England will be incorporated. Some 380 accessions held amounting to over 7,000 items. Indexed at collection level in Land Survey Record Index (LSRI). Plans abstracted and held separately in Land Survey Plans Collection.

Historic collection of 1,974 miscellaneous rock samples collected by C.R. Lindsey. Consists of rock samples as well as paper registration documents: catalogue, index and seven note books.
