  • Major and trace element composition, and stable isotope data for whole-rock samples from alkaline rocks of the Chilwa Province. Samples collected between 2011-2021 in the Chilwa Alkaline Province, Malawi

  • **This dataset has been superseded**The newGeoSure Insurance Product (newGIP) provides the potential insurance risk due to natural ground movement. It incorporates the combined effects of the 6 GeoSure hazards on (low-rise) buildings: landslides, shrink-swell clays, soluble rocks, running sands, compressible ground, and collapsible deposits. These hazards are evaluated using a series of processes including statistical analyses and expert elicitation techniques to create a derived product that can be used for insurance purposes such as identifying and estimating risk and susceptibility. The evaluated hazards are then linked to a postcode database - the Derived Postcode Database (DPD), which is updated biannually with new releases of Ordnance Survey Code-Point® data (current version used: 2024.1). The newGIP is provided for national coverage across Great Britain (not including the Isle of Man). This product is available in a range of GIS formats including Access (*.dbf), ArcGIS (*.shp) or MapInfo (*.tab) on request. The newGIP is produced for use at 1:50 000 scale providing 50 m ground resolution.

  • This data pack contains processed data from straddle packer pump testing of TH0424 ground investigation borehole at the UK Geonergy Observatory at Thornton Science Park, Cheshire during October 2022. TH0424 (BGS borehole reference NG47NW249) is located at NGR Easting: 344965 Northing: 375857 and drilled to a depth of 101.14 mbgl. Full meta data for the test borehole is included in the borehole information pack (https://doi.org/10.5285/badff3b9-8bc8-4897-b324-7f4653fdd214). This dataset is accompanied by BGS open report OR/23/037 (https://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/536445/) which provides context, description, and analysis of the data. Data sets included in this data pack: 1) Groundwater level data as measured by downhole transducers in the isolated packer intervals and outside packer intervals for 20 pump tests at various target depths/zones. Level data includes raw level readings as well as barometric pressure readings at surface and barometrically compensated level data. 2) Pump flow rate data during pump tests 3) Event logs including timestamped events such as packer inflation, pump deployment etc. 4) Hydrochemical data from on-site parameter measurements and analysed groundwater samples collected during constant rate pump tests. 5) Coring/drilling log of TH0410 with timestamped coring progress during the pump testing period. This dataset is included as activities at TH0410 during testing are thought to have significantly impacted data quality. 6) Logged abstraction events from the Thornton Science Park abstraction borehole (Borehole reference SJ47NW25, NGR 344950 375500, ~350m south of TH0424) by means of a pressure transducer attached to the borehole headworks. This dataset is included as abstraction of the TSP borehole is known to drawdown groundwater levels in TH0424.

  • This image dataset was captured as part of the operation of an automated weather station at the Virkisjökull-Falljökull Glacier, SE Iceland. The station formed part of the BGS Iceland Glacier Observatory network of sensors, deployed between 2009 and 2020 in order to characterise and identify glacial, geomorphological and hydrological drivers and processes and their timescales across the deglaciating Virkisjökull-Falljökull catchment in SE Iceland. This image time series was generated alongside the continuous operation of two further weather stations, river gauging, a network of groundwater level gauges and numerous other forms of monitoring. The records presented here begin in September 2011 with the installation of the camera on the weather station, and continue to December 2019. The data complements the published groundwater and river gauging datasets published here, and will be of use to researchers, teachers and students wishing to see an excellent example of glacier flow, or those interested in the processes observed in a rapidly deglaciating landscape, including anyone interested to follow up on the various research studies published from this site in the international literature. The BGS project was led and coordinated by Dr Jez Everest, and during earlier years Tom Bradwell (Uni of Stirling, formerly BGS). Technical support and implementation was provided by Heiko Buxel and Tom Shanahan. The dataset is not fully continuous as certain periods were lost due to equipment downtime. Enquiries are welcome and should be directed to Dr Everest.

  • FWHM of coral skeletal samples from 7 coral genotypes cultured in an aquarium at seawater pCO2 of 180, 260, 400 and 750 µatm and at seawater temperature of 25 and 28 degrees C (39 samples total). Data were collected to determine how environmental conditions influence disorder in the aragonite lattice of coral skeletons. Data were collected between August 2020 and December 2022 by Phoebe Ross, Celeste Kellock, Cristina Castillo Alvarez and Nicola Allison and interpreted by Phoebe Ross, Celeste Kellock, Cristina Castillo Alvarez, David Evans, Nicola Allison, Adrian Finch, Kirsty Penkman, Roland Kröger, and Matthieu Clog.

This image time series was captured at (WGS-84) 63°58’12.78?N 16°47’5.64?W, on a lateral moraine sequence adjacent to the glacier icefall and were generated alongside the continuous operation of two further weather stations, river gauging, a network of groundwater level gauges and numerous other forms of monitoring. The records presented here begin in September 2011 with the installation of the camera on the weather station, and continue to February 2018.

  • Concentrations of various elements along with temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen, in hot spring fluids around the world. Bedrock chemistry data for Mars, in situ samples and meteorites, also included. Data from Iceland were partly generated in this study, other data are taken from the literature for comparison. Also included are literature data about associated bedrocks. Sheet 1: concentrations of dissolved elements in hot spring fluids Sheet 2: concentrations of elements in bedrock associated with hot springs Sheet 3: averages of bedrock data Sheet 4: full reference list

  • A core scanning dataset from the Keyworth D borehole 3. This borehole was drilled onshore at the British Geological Survey (BGS) headquarters in Keyworth, Nottinghamshire, UK, in March 2024 as part of BGS’s geothermal heat pump project funded by the Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC). The 238.5 m-long Mercia Mudstone core succession was scanned for radiographic images (RAD) and geophysical property data (MSCL-S) using the Core Scanning Facility (CSF) at the British Geological Survey (BGS).

  • The dataset contains the raw timeseries of broadband magnetotelluric data collected at 10 sites around St Austell, Cornwall and one remote site in Bodmin Moor, Cornwall. Data were collected by BGS staff in March 2023 using Phoenix Geophysics Ultra-wideband MTU-5C systems.
