BGS: British Geological Survey: The UK national centre for earth science information, founded in 1835. Its primary functions are to maintain and revise geological information for the land and offshore areas of the United Kingdom and the nearby continental shelf. Its work relates directly to mineral, energy and groundwater resources, land use, geological hazards, and the protection of the environment.
