GeoReport News

In light of UK Government guidance concerning the Coronavirus (Covid-19) the BGS Geology Shops at Keyworth, Edinburgh and London are closed and many GeoReports are temporarily unavailable due to the limitations associated with our report writers needing to work from home.

We will still be able to supply the following GeoReports* via the links below:

* All reports for areas of complex geology are temporarily unavailable. This is because of the limitations associated with our report writers needing to work from home.

** The Engineering module is temporarily unavailable for this report. This is because of the limitations associated with our report writers needing to work from home.

*** Due to local Covid-19 restrictions we are temporarily unable to deliver BSA GeoReports for built sites in Scotland. We are still able to complete reports for England/Wales.

We apologise for any inconvenience this causes. If you need any further information please contact enquiries@bgs.ac.uk
