We collect data from sensors located throughout the UK and beyond capturing information on properties such as groundwater temperature and levels, barometric air pressure and motion sensors. We have recently started collecting information related to the energy efficiency of buildings and have developed techniques for incorporating data from sensors operated by other institutions. Some of the data we collect is available through the sensor API and sensor dashboard which provides easy access to the API data.

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

The 1:50 000 scale GeoSure (natural ground stability) data covering the map sheets for Loughborough and Kilmarnock are available in this OGC WFS 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 https://www.bgs.ac.uk/geological-data/. MapServer software is used to provide this OGC WFS service.

These services are a BGS contribution to the OneGeology project, providing UK onshore geological data at 1:625 000 scale and UK continental shelf seabed sediment data at 1:1 million scale. This map data is collected as part of an ongoing BGS project: Digital Geological Map of Great Britain (DiGMapGB). MapServer software is used to provide these OGC download APIs.

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

This server provides OGCAPI endpoints for a selection of BGS open geospatial data. The BGS has a wide range of datasets and wants to increase access to these, publishing as many as possible under Open Government Licence. Not all datasets are available under OGL, please check the metadata record for the dataset to confirm any licence requirements and obligations if not OGL. This is a BETA API service, endpoints and attributes could change at anytime, unscheduled downtime should be expected. Data includes boreholes, earthquakes and mineral statistics

Data from the DiGMap covering the whole of the United Kingdom at a scale of 1:625 000 is available in this OGC WFS service for personal, non-commercial use only. The service is a contribution to the OneGeology-Europe initiative. The layers can be displayed either by age or by lithology. For more information about the digital maps available from the British Geological Survey, please visit https://www.bgs.ac.uk/datasets/bgs-geology/

This service is a BGS contribution to the OneGeology project, providing UK onshore bedrock geological data at 1:625 000 scale in GeoSciML. This map data is collected as part of an ongoing BGS project: Digital Geological Map of Great Britain (DiGMapGB). GeoServer software is used to provide this complex features WFS service.

This service provides access to the World Mineral Statistics database data.

This service was created as part of the EU (FP7) funded EarthServer project. It provided the public facing WCS component of the Geology Data Service for this project. Other public facing components were available at: http://earthserver.bgs.ac.uk/. Services were discontinued in 2022.
