Cruise reports and interim reports

Through manufacturing, and geophysically characterising the properties and distribution of a range of synthetic gas hydrate morphologies in a range of sediments in the laboratory, protocols will be established for geophysically logging natural sediment-hydrate core preserved in pressure chambers on board ship. Based on pressure cycling, geophysical behaviour responses will be determined during the start of dissociation and formation. On this basis we then propose to develop protocols to characterise and classify hydrates sampled during ODP Leg 204, significantly improving our understanding of the nature and behaviour of these sediments. This new knowledge will enhance geophysical survey data, better constrain estimates of in-situ hydrates and improve the evaluation of hydrate destabilisation on methane release and slope stability.

This dataset contains meteorological observations taken from 72 locations around Great Britain, Ireland and Europe published in the 1900-1910 Met Office Daily Weather Reports (DWRs). These records were produced as part of the Operation Weather Rescue project. Twice daily observations of mean sea level pressure and dry bulb temperature, along with daily wet bulb, maximum and minimum temperatures and total rainfall, were sent to the Met Office via telegraph for publication the DWRs. Some of the locations cover the entire 11 year period whereas others stopped reporting and may have been replaced by another location, and some locations were included in the DWRs from a later date. Additional observations of mean sea level pressure, dry bulb temperature and wet bulb temperature at 2pm are included for 1900 but these observations were no longer included in the DWRs after 1900. From November 1908 the German stations replaced wet bulb temperature with relative humidity. The data is stored in two formats: in daily csv files with observations for each station and in Station Exchange Format (SEF) files for each station in separate variables. SEF is a human-readable text format saved as .tsv (tab separated values). In the csv files units are inches of mercury (inHg) for mean sea level pressure, degrees Fahrenheit (F) for all temperature variables, inches for rainfall and percent (%) for relative humidity. In the SEF files the units are hectopascals (hPa) for mean sea level pressure, degrees Celsius (C) for all temperature variables, millimetres (mm) for rainfall and percent for relative humidity.

Paper records and photos used to create the Nottingham Caves digital register and maps. Includes archival material of the caves known to BGS, around northern and central Nottingham. Data mainly captured in 1989, infrequent since then approximately 1 per year.

The BGS Publications Database contains metadata relating to documents created by the British Geological Survey (BGS). These documents include published works (commercially published, formally printed, listed for sale and available for general distribution to the public), as well as informally published technical reports and current report RR, OR, CR and IR series. The database contains documents which are released for general distribution, as well as confidential documents and documents which are available only to BGS staff. The database contains series of publications which have been used throughout the existence of the Geological Survey, including sheet memoirs, district memoirs, summaries of work and regional geological guides which date from the beginning of Geological Survey activity in the early 19th century to the present day. The database also contains RR (research), OR (open), CR (commissioned) and IR (internal) reports from the current BGS report series, as well as a large (over 25 000) number of technical reports created by various units within BGS from the 1940s through to the year 2000. Basic metadata about a publication are held, including its unique ID, reference number, year of publication, full title, author(s), series and publisher. Many publications are held in digital formats, either as scans of hard-copy documents or as born-digital files. Publications stored within the database are available to view, but are not available for download. Non-confidential technical reports are available to download in PDF format. The database can be browsed and reports accessed through the BGS Publications Viewer: https://webapps.bgs.ac.uk/data/publications/. The current series of open reports from BGS are available on the NERC Open Research Archive (NORA): https://nora.nerc.ac.uk/.

The Land Survey Record Index was set up c.1988 to provide a digital database index to records and archives held by the Land Survey in Scotland and Northern England and contains over 46,600 records. Finding aid to the following record groups/data sets, is provided through a application query interface: Site Investigation Records (SE); Land Survey Archives (LSA); Land Survey Records (LSR); Mineral Resource Records (MR); Additional Information Files (AI); Enquiry Record Files (EE; EN); Opencast Coal Sites (OC).

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.
