Overseas and technical publications

The BGS publishes specialist maps and reports on the geological, geophysical and resources of the UK and several other countries, most of which are part of the Commonwealth. Many of these reports were produced as part of commissioned research undertaken over many years in the UK and elsewhere. For the UK, many reports are in the form of open-file documents.

You can review available BGS publications from 1835 to present using the BGS publication viewer providing access to a range of free to view publications and the NERC Open Research Archive (NORA) to download research outputs from across the centres.
