| Title | BGS National Karst Database |
| Description | The aim being to retrieve karst data from field slips and paper maps with additional fine-scale detail gathered during fieldwork, from remote sensing techniques such as LiDAR (light detection and ranging) and from existing documentary data sources such as historical and modern Ordnance Survey maps, cave surveys, academic papers and historical documents. Other datasets such as a legacy Applied Geology database and the Mendip Cave Registry data are also being used to identify other sources of information where relevant. We collect data on five main types of karst feature: Sinkholes (or dolines), Stream sinks, Caves, Springs and incidences of associated damage to buildings, roads, bridges and other engineered works |

| Title | BGS National Landslide Database |
| Description | The BGS National Landslide Database (NLD) is the most extensive source of information on landslides in Great Britain. Selected information from the database is now available as a free online resource (http://www.bgs.ac.uk/geoindex/, where you will need to select the Hazards theme). The database currently holds over 17 300 records which are continually being updated. Each landslide event record in the database is documented as fully as possible with information on location, name, size and dimensions, landslide type, trigger, damage caused, movement date, age and with a full bibliographic reference. For more information see http://www.bgs.ac.uk/landslides/nld.html |

| Title | National Geotechnical Properties Database |
| Description | This primarily holds data and information from ground investigations carried out for civil engineering purposes. The information is supplied to us by clients, consultants and contractors either as paper records or as Association of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Specialists (AGS) digital data transfer format. A small number of data points are from laboratory test results carried out by the BGS. The design of the database is currently based on the AGS industry standard for Electronic Transfer of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Data version 3.1. It contains data relating to the project, the boreholes and pits within the report (including British National Grid Reference and geology), full descriptions, in situ measurements and results of tests on samples.The distribution of data generally reflects the requirements of our projects including UK Rocks and Soils Lithostratigraphical studies, or the areas covered by Ground Information for Sustainable Development and geohazards projects. Data are added from paper records or AGS digital data transfer format, which is the preferred method as they can be added quickly without transcription errors. |
