This layer of the map based index (GeoIndex) shows the location of available Mineral Assessment Reports, the information for the index has been taken from the BGS UK Sand and Gravel Database. Each report studied the sand and gravel resources of an area of between one hundred and two hundred square kilometres. This layer shows individual polygons of the geographical areas covered by each report. Selecting the individual polygons via the map based index (GeoIndex) application gives details of the corresponding report title, number, author(s), subtitle and the date report was first published. The Department of the Environment commissioned this Report series from the British Geological Survey.

An important paper archive of a wide variety of miscellaneous geological information organised on the basis of its location within 1:10 000 scale geological map sheet areas in Great Britain. The majority of the data has been produced or collected from a wide variety of sources by BGS staff since 1835. Mainly acquired as part of the mapping programme new information is added on a regular basis. The data may not fit into any of the main collections, but is valuable for future projects and answering enquiries.

This Web service provides the BGS heat flow dataset as a Web Map Service (WMS). The British Geological Survey (BGS) heat flow model (United Kingdom) is derived from a catalogue of legacy heat flow data points and ground-heat modelling. The model portrays heat flow as a continuous modelled surface, interpolated between observation and estimation points. Heat flow data is typically used to determine temperatures beneath the ground surface, and model how much thermal energy may be recovered from or stored within.
