Monthly Groundwater Level (GWL) and Standardised Groundwater levels for six sites in the UK illustrating the temporal interpolation of groundwater level hydrographs for regional drought analysis using mixed models

John P Bloomfield, Benjamin P Marchant & Bentje Brauns
The dataset consists of modelled monthly groundwater level (GWL) and Standardised Groundwater level Index (SGI) time series for six groundwater level hydrographs from the UK. The data forms part of a paper for the peer-reviewed literature describing a modelling method to regularise and standardise groundwater level time series data so that they can be used in the study of groundwater droughts and the propagation of droughts in the wider terrestrial water cycle. The data consists...

The impact of hydrothermal alteration on the physiochemical characteristics of reservoir rocks: the case of the Los Humeros geothermal field (Mexico)

Leandra M. Weydt, Federico Lucci, Alicja Lacinska, Dirk Scheuvens, Gerardo Carrasco-Núñez, Guido Giordano, Christopher A. Rochelle, Stefanie Schmidt, Kristian Bär & Ingo Sass
Abstract Hydrothermal alteration is a common process in active geothermal systems and can significantly change the physiochemical properties of rocks. To improve reservoir assessment and modeling of high-temperature geothermal resources linked to active volcanic settings, a detailed understanding of the reservoir is needed. The Los Humeros Volcanic Complex, hosting the third largest exploited geothermal field in Mexico, represents a natural laboratory to investigate the impact of hydrothermal processes on the rock properties through andesitic reservoir...

Random Forest model output prediction raster for the occurrence of Fe-Mn in the World Oceans

Pierre Josso & Alex Hall
The raster provide the output of a machine-learning random forest algorithm modelling the occurrence of ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) crust deposits in the world ocean. This raster constitutes a data-driven approach for mineral prospectivity mapping of Fe-Mn crusts that should be used in conjunction with other expert-driven prospectivity analysis to guide the assessment of Fe-Mn crust coverage in the world ocean and potential mineral exploration. The raster contains values between 0.07 and 0.92. Any values outside of...

A comprehensive suite of earthquake catalogues for the 2016-2017 Central Italy seismic sequence

Lauro Chiaraluce, Maddalena Michele, Felix Waldhauser, Yen Joe Tan, Marcus Herrmann, Daniele Spallarossa, Gregory Beroza, Claudio Chiarabba, Pasquale De Gori, Raffaele Di Stefano, William Ellsworth, Ian Main, Simone Mancini, Lucia Margheriti, Warner Marzocchi, Men-Andrin Meyer, Davide Scafidi, David Schaff & Margarita Segou
A set of six large catalogues documenting the seismic sequence that occurred in central Italy between 2016 and 2017, characterized by a cascade of four MW5.5–6.5 events. The earthquake catalogues possess different levels of resolution and completeness that result from progressive enhancements in both detection sensitivity and hypocentral location determination. These quality differences reflect the subsequent application of advanced methods.

Probabilistic models of earthquake location and velocity structure beneath New Ollerton, UK

Andy Nowacki, Corinna Roy, Xin Zhang, Andrew Curtis & Brian Baptie
The models are probabilistic inferences of earth structure and earthquake location based around travel times of P and S waves recorded at seismic stations above Thoresby Colliery, New Ollerton, Nottinghamshire, UK. For each point in the subsurface, we present many different values of the P- and S-wave velocity which are compatible with the data. Likewise, we present many event locations for each earthquake included in the dataset. These different models represent the posterior probability distribution...

Property Subsidence Assessment dataset 2022

The BGS Property Subsidence Assessment (PSA) dataset provides insurers and homeowners access to a better understanding of the shrink-swell hazard at both the individual property and/or postcode level for England and Wales. It builds upon the GeoSure shrink-swell data by mapping the hazard to the individual building polygon and considering the other susceptibility factors of building type, foundation depth, and drainage and tree proximity. The user receives GIS building polygons with an overall susceptibility to...

Temperature Maps of the British Coalfields

&
This dataset provides the first map and synthesis of the temperature of Britain's coalfields. It was created to support low-temperature heat recovery, cooling and storage schemes using mine water in abandoned workings. This baseline spatial mapping and synthesis of coalfield temperatures offers significant benefit to those planning, designing and regulating heat recovery and storage in Britain's abandoned coalfields. The data has been developed jointly by the Coal Authority and the British Geological Survey. It is...

Quaternary deposits thickness across the UK Continental Shelf (2014 Version)

The Quaternary deposits thickness dataset is a digital geological map across the bulk of the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS), for areas up to a water depth of 200m, which shows the thickness of the deposits over bedrock in three categories: <5m, 5-50m, and >50m Quaternary cover. These depth bands were picked because they represent the horizons that have impact on offshore infrastructure deployment. The map is derived from (unpublished) BGS 1:1000000 scale Quaternary digital geological...

Critical Raw Materials for the Energy Transition

Kathryn Goodenough
The global objective of achieving net zero emissions is driving significant decarbonisation of energy and transport, with a shift towards renewable energy sources and electric vehicles. It is now widely recognised that this will drive significant increases in demand for a range of minerals and metals, including lithium, graphite, manganese, nickel and cobalt (used in batteries) and the rare earth elements (used in magnets in motors). There are concerns about the security of supply of...
