Geology beneath the waves - BGS Lecture Series

Over 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface lies beneath the waves of our seas and oceans. Most of this hidden world remains uncharted; however, scientific research, offshore development, conservation and marine management are all driving an increasing demand for offshore environmental data. This special webinar focuses on some of the cutting-edge geological sea floor mapping and modelling research that is currently being undertaken at BGS, which is both generating and using these state-of-the-art datasets. The webinar will cover three areas of our current marine geoscience research: 0:00:00 - Welcome and introduction 0:00:46 - Mapping UK seabed geology 0:16:42 - Marine geoscience and the energy transition 0:34:56 - Into the blue: exploring the deepest places on Earth 0:52:10 - Summary 0:52:50 - Q&A The webinar concludes with a live Q&A session, providing attendees with the opportunity to raise their questions with BGS geoscientists.
