An agreement between the British Geological Survey (BGS) and aerial mapping company Bluesky is allowing a range of geological and geohazard map layers to be made available online. The eight new layers cover a variety of physical features and hazards, including a nationwide map of groundwater flooding as well as ground stability data, geological indicators of flooding and permeability data. Widely used by developers, planners and environmental consultants, for example, this new data complements the national datasets already on offer, including high resolution aerial photography, detailed height models and Ordnance Survey mapping.
