U.K. Geological Survey

GB

The U.K. Geological Survey (BGS), founded in 1835, is a world-leading geoscience research center and a component body of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). It provides expert, impartial advice to the UK government on all aspects of geoscience, including space weather and Earth observation. BGS's Geomagnetism team, for example, measures and models variations in Earth's magnetic fields, utilizing data from observatories and satellite missions to understand space weather hazards and provide geomagnetic products. BGS partners with organizations like the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA and contributes to projects like COMET, which uses satellite measurements to study earthquakes and volcanoes.
