Seismology Research at BGS
Our research is focussed on three areas:
- Improve understanding of the driving forces for earthquakes in the British Isles and the geological factors controlling their distribution
- Develop comprehensive models for the seismic properties of the crust and upper mantle underlying the British Isles
- Develop and apply new methods to improving understanding of seismic hazard.
- A Comparison of the Folkestone and Market Rasen Earthquakes
- Revised Seismic Hazard Maps for the UK
- Seismogenesis and State of Stress in the UK
- Monitoring Volcanic Eruptions Using Interferometry
- Particular events
- Are yesterday's earthquakes tomorrow's disasters?
- Creating 'virtual seismometers' deep inside the Earth
- Fault line living
- Is earthquake activity related to the Moon or Sun?
- Is earthquake activity increasing?
