On 1 January 1984, the institute was renamed the British Geological Survey (and often referred to as the BGS), a name still carried today. [5] Since 1835, there have been 20 directors of the survey. In 2019, Karen Hanghøj was the first woman appointed to lead the survey.
BGS Groundhog Desktop is a software tool developed and made available by the British Geological Survey and used for geological data visualisation, interpretation and 3D geologic modelling. It is available in both free-to-use and commercial editions. Groundhog Desktop is a key part of the BGS's work to develop 3D models of the UK subsurface. [1]

Panorama of part of the Snowdon Massif including Snowdon (centre right) taken from Mynydd Mawr.The Glyderau are visible in the distance.. The bedrock geology of Snowdonia is largely formed from a sequence of sedimentary and igneous rocks originating during the early Palaeozoic (the Cambrian, Ordovician and Silurian periods, lasting between 539 and 419 million years ago).

The geology of Anglesey, the largest (714 km 2) island in Wales is some of the most complex in the country. Anglesey has relatively low relief, the 'grain' of which runs northeast–southwest, i.e. ridge and valley features extend in that direction reflecting not only the trend of the late Precambrian and Palaeozoic age bedrock geology but also the direction in which glacial ice traversed and ...
The geology of the Peak District National Park in England is dominated by a thick succession of faulted and folded sedimentary rocks of Carboniferous age. The Peak District is often divided into a southerly White Peak where Carboniferous Limestone outcrops and a northerly Dark Peak where the overlying succession of sandstones and mudstones dominate the landscape.
