New seabed geology map of offshore East Anglia

Seabed geology map of offshore East Anglia

New geological data has been used to create an offshore East Anglia fine-scale (1:10 000) map. The map captures essential insights that will prove invaluable in the pursuit of further renewable energy development in the area, whilst allowing for better protection of nationally important habitats and species.

The East Anglia map forms part of a series of new fine-scale maps produced by BGS that focus on the seabed geology of the UK’s continental shelf.


Upcoming events

Colleagues from the BGS Digital Products and Business Development teams have been busy attending industry events and engaging with our valued stakeholders. Events such as GeoBusiness, Flood and Coast and the Esri UK Annual Conference have been fantastic opportunities to catch up with existing and prospective partners and users of BGS data.
