United Kingdom: Geothermal Data from Geoenergy Observatories to be Made Available

UK scientists pave the way for open data to be at the heart of public decision making on natural resources ( UK Geoenergy Observatories)

Geoscientists have launched an open data source from a world-first network of observatories investigating the underground, designed to put scientific evidence into the heart of decision making on the natural environment.

The British Geological Survey (BGS), the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and researchers from 20 leading earth science institutes joined forces in 2015 to develop plans for a world-first observatory that would provide unprecedented data, information and knowledge on the rocks beneath our feet.

The UK Geoenergy Observatories will serve up one of the world’s most comprehensive datasets on the underground environment, and this is being made open to industry, business, government, regulators and campaign groups in real time wherever possible.

UK Geoenergy Observatories data is being made available at www.ukgeos.ac.uk
