The British Geological Survey (BGS) has just unveiled its new OpenGeoscience portal - a free service which allows you to view maps, download photographs and explore other information.
The six sections comprise Maps, Pictures, Reports, Data, Education, and Software. The two which I’ve looked at are the maps and pictures:
Maps. View the geology of Great Britain from your web browser, a geobrowser or GIS systems. The Simple viewer shows bedrock geology and the overlying superficial deposits and is very easy to use. More geological layers (artificial ground, faults, mass movements, etc) — are available through the Intermediate and Advanced Views.
Pictures. GeoScenic is the National Archive of Geological Photographs. Tens of thousands of images from the vast collections of photographs at the BGS are now available to view and download The whole archive is searchable and free to use for non-commercial purposes.
Give it a go and let me know your comments.
