BGS observatory, Virkisjökull, Iceland September 2011
The BGS operate an observatory site at Virkisjökull in south-east Iceland, studying the evolution of the glacier and the surrounding landscape and their responses to regional climate.
Sensors at the site are constantly collecting climate and seismic data. Repeated high resolution surveys study how both the glacier and land surface, and the deposits beneath, change over time.
We are using the latest cutting-edge technologies, not used in combination anywhere else in the world. These give unique insights into:
processes of landscape formation
responses of glacial systems to climate forcing
Archive Awareness Campaign
Archive Awareness Campaign was originally designed to be a celebration of the rich archive collections held within the UK. For the past seven years the British Geological Survey has hosted an annual event to demonstrate the variety of its archive holdings and their value to science.
Due to major site restructuring at BGS Keyworth we are currently unable to hold the event and have created this online display to showcase some of our unique and valuable collections.
