British Geological Survey: Learning

The British Geological Survey (BGS) has a wealth of information about the earth sciences, and they are quite willing to share it with others.
This page contains information and resources for anyone interested in geology for educational or leisure purposes, and it is contained with four sections.

First up is "Popular geology", which includes "Britain beneath our feet", an interactive atlas of geology, resources, and land quality. This section also contains graphics about climate change and earthquakes.

The second section is titled "Educational resources". Here visitors can ask scientists at the BGS specific questions and they can also download several free posters.

The third section is called "Educational news and events" and it features upcoming events at the BGS and links to their free magazine, "Earthwise". The site is rounded out by the fourth section titled "From the BGS Archives". Here visitors can view historic geological photographs and also view field sketches and watercolors by Alexander Henry Green, the celebrated Victorian geologist.
