About Us

Written by the staff themselves this blog will give you a glimpse of the challenges and achievements of those who make the BGS a world-leading geoscience centre.

From geologists to cartographers
From groundwater to space weather
From breaking discoveries to the daily grind (and sieving and shaking and breaking)
And everything in between
Welcome to Geoblogy.

The British Geological Survey is a world-leading geological survey and global geoscience organisation, focused on public-good science for government and research to understand earth and environmental processes.
We are the UK’s premier provider of objective and authoritative geoscientific data, information and knowledge to help society to use its natural resources responsibly, manage environmental change and be resilient to environmental hazards.
We are part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and a research centre under the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), with an independent BGS Board created in 2018.
The roles and responsibilities of the BGS Board and the BGS Board are defined in a 2020 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the BGS and NERC.
