The Keyworth campus, headquarters of the British Geological Survey, specializes in core geoscientific research, data archiving, and advanced laboratory analysis. It hosts the National Geological Repository with millions of samples and focuses on understanding the UK's subsurface geology, environmental processes, and natural resources.
This site supports interdisciplinary programs integrating geophysics, geochemistry, and modelling for policy advice on climate change and land use.
The BGS London Information Point at the Natural History Museum serves as a public engagement and information hub, focusing on urban geology, geohazards in the capital, and educational outreach on geosciences.
It facilitates research on Thames Valley geology and supports policy for London's built environment.
The BGS Wales office at Cardiff University concentrates on Welsh geology, groundwater resources, and applied geoscience for regional development and environmental management in Wales.
It supports collaborative projects with Welsh government on sustainable land use and flood risk.
The Geological Survey of Northern Ireland (GSNI) in Belfast specializes in regional geological surveys, mineral exploration, and geophysical mapping across Northern Ireland, including the Tellus airborne survey program.
GSNI provides data for economic development and environmental protection in Northern Ireland.
The Lyell Centre in Edinburgh, a collaboration with Heriot-Watt University, focuses on marine and terrestrial geoscience, geomagnetism, and offshore resources. It emphasizes research on seabed mapping, earthquake monitoring, and geoenergy in Scottish waters.
The centre offers specialized training in marine operations and geophysical instrumentation for industry and academia.
