It includes the unreconstructed projections (.txrm), the reconstructed images (.txm), and the masked and cropped segmented images (.am and .raw). The rock was imaged during dissolution 10 times over the course of 2.5 hours. Details can be found in Menke et al., 2015 in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.2020-02-26T14:50:38.488454+00:00https://ckan.publishing.service.gov.uk/dataset/bbbd79d1-9e43-47cf-bf5b-0f1d5a62c6f5Doddington Sandstone Computed Tomography Rock Scan - 4.2µm - 1612132024-03-22T15:20:20.994177+00:00The images in this dataset are a sample of Doddington Sandstone from a micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) scan acquired with a voxel resolution of 4.2µm. This dataset is part of a study on the effects of Voxel Resolution in a study of flow in porous media. A brief overview of this study summarised from Shah et al 2015 follows. A fundamental understanding of flow in porous media at the pore-scale is necessary to be able to upscale average displacement processes from core to reservoir scale. The study of fluid flow in porous media at the pore-scale consists of two key procedures: Imaging reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) pore space images; and modelling such as with single and two-phase flow simulations with Lattice-Boltzmann (LB) or Pore-Network (PN) Modelling. Here we analyse pore-scale results to predict petrophysical properties such as porosity, single phase permeability and multi-phase properties at different length scales. The fundamental issue is to understand the image resolution dependency of transport properties, in order to up-scale the flow physics from pore to core scale. In this work, we use a high resolution micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) scanner to image and reconstruct three dimensional pore-scale images of five sandstones and five complex carbonates at four different voxel resolutions (4.4µm, 6.2µm, 8.3µm and 10.2µm, scanning the same physical field of view.

Historically these magnetograms were recorded on paper using photographic techniques. In the UK, measurements were made at eight long-running observatories; Abinger, Eskdalemuir, Falmouth, Greenwich, Hartland, Kew, Lerwick, and Stonyhurst. BGS also hold magnetogram records from the Cape Evans observatory that ran continuously at Robert Falcon Scott’s Antarctic base camp during the British Antarctic Expedition 1910–13. The magnetogram collection, one of the longest running geomagnetic series in the world, provides a continuous record of more than 160 years of UK measurements. These magnetograms start in the 1840s and end in 1986 at which time digital recording of the magnetic field took over and magnetograms can be produced by computer graphic. The plots show variation in the Earth's magnetic field, typically over a 24-hour period. The collection is a valuable, partly untapped data resource for studying geomagnetic storms, space weather and the evolution of the Earth’s magnetic field. The magnetograms provide insight into: • the Earth’s outer core: long-term change (years to centuries) in the dynamo that sustains our magnetic field • space weather: short-term changes (seconds to days) in near-Earth space and on the ground • space climate: long-term change (decades to centuries) in solar activity and consequences for Earth’s environment All the above have an impact on human activities. For example, bad space weather affects technologies that we increasingly rely on, such as electrical power and GPS networks. In response to the threat of loss from degradation due to age and a desire to preserve and exploit old data, BGS undertook a programme of work to digitally photograph, archive and preserve the analogue paper records of magnetic field variation in the United Kingdom. Between 2009 and 2013, high-quality digital images of every available magnetogram were taken. These images are available to search online. Scientists and the general public around the world can now gain easy access to this historical dataset.2011-06-03T12:19:19.420065+00:00https://ckan.publishing.service.gov.uk/dataset/d02c4bd7-bd29-4e48-95b8-44824c9750f9Minerals Programme Geochemistry Database.2024-03-22T15:24:31.824286+00:00The Mineral Reconnaissance Programme (MRP), funded by the DTI (Department of Trade and Industry) carried out baseline mineral exploration in Great Britain between 1972 and 1997. Its main aim was to stimulate private-sector exploration and the development of indigenous mineral resources. It has been subsumed into the new BGS Minerals Programme, also funded by the DTI. The Programme provides information and advice to industry, enables technology transfer and promotes wealth creation through the effective sustainable development of Britain's mineral resources. The database contains information from the MRP together with some from earlier programmes and the new Minerals Programme. Information from the early 1970s was largely concerned with the search for uranium and base-metals, while since the 1980s gold and platinum-group elements (PGEs) have dominated. A range of pathfinder elements have also been determined. Data is held on the geochemistry of drainage stream sediments, panned concentrates, soil, deep overburden, rock and drillcore samples. All geochemical results are used to populate corporate Geochemistry Database.2011-06-03T12:19:45.114792+00:00https://ckan.publishing.service.gov.uk/dataset/eb659d6d-e473-45c6-86e1-12701455b49eUK Coal Resource for New Exploitation Technologies2024-03-22T15:26:16.331177+00:00Several coal resource maps for the whole of the UK have been produced by the British Geological Survey as a result of joint work with Department of Trade and Industry and the Coal Authority. The UK Coal Resource for new exploitation technologies map is a map of Britain depicting the spatial extent of the principal coal resources overlayed with existing workings and potential new technologies for accessing the resource. The map also shows the areas where coal and lignite are present at the surface and also where coal is buried at depth beneath younger rocks. The project covers all onshore coalfields in the UK, including Northern Ireland. It includes coal under estuaries and near-shore areas that can practically be reached by land-based directional drilling. No data more than 5 km offshore were considered. The maps are intended to be used for resource development, energy policy, strategic planning, land-use planning, the indication of hazard in mined areas, environment assessment and as a teaching aid. In addition to a summary map at 1:750000 scale for Britain data also exists for each technology of 21 individual regions or coal fields at a scale of 1:100000. The data was published in printed map form for the summary map, inkjet plots for the 42 individual maps and as PDF documents on CD. The maps were accompanied by BGS report CR/04/015N, "UK Coal Resource for New Technologies, Final Report". The work was initiated in April 2002 and completed in October 2003. The data was also simplified for inclusion in the Britain Beneath your Feet atlas 2005.2011-06-03T12:16:16.961344+00:00https://ckan.publishing.service.gov.uk/dataset/45510440-d8c8-4ac4-a870-4632b44a6130Teaching Pack of Digital Geological Data (GeoScholar)2024-03-22T15:27:31.361875+00:00GeoScholar is a set of free geological data - available in GIS format - for UK universities and the higher education sector, to support teaching and learning within the geosciences.

The UK has considerable potential for geological storage of CO2 under the North Sea and extensive offshore industry experience that could be applied. While initial storage is likely to be undertaken in depleted oil and gas fields, much larger saline aquifer formations are estimated to have sufficient capacity to securely contain 100 years of current UK fossil fuel power plant CO2 emissions. The CO2 Aquifer Storage Site Evaluation and Monitoring (CASSEM) project brings together the experience and different working practices of utilities, offshore operators, engineering contractors, and academic researchers to build collective understanding and develop expertise. CASSEM produced both new scientific knowledge and detailed insight into the CCS industry, developing best-value methods for the evaluation of saline aquifer formations for CO2 storage. Alongside work to assess the storage potential of two saline aquifer formations in close proximity to large coal power plant, CASSEM applied a novel Features, Events and Processes method to explore perceptions of risk in the work undertaken. This identified areas of industry and research community uncertainty and unfamiliarity to enable targeted investment of resource to reduce overall project risk. An openly accessible and flexible full chain (CO2 capture, transport and storage) costing model was developed allowing the CCS community to assess and explore overall costs. CASSEM's work also included the first use of citizen panels in the regions investigated for storage to assess public perception and educate the general public about CCS.2020-02-26T15:36:42.086745+00:00https://ckan.publishing.service.gov.uk/dataset/7ebf9c71-9d9f-47e4-8321-f9cae4dde815Chemical kinetic mechanism describing the atmospheric chemistry of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) and piperazine (PIP) with OH, NO2, Cl and N2O3. Gaussian software methodology and calculations (UKCCSRC Grant EP/P026214/1)2024-03-22T15:45:01.234538+00:00Amine atmospheric chemistry kinetic mechanism and related Gaussian 09 electronic structure outputs. A text document with a chemical kinetic reaction mechanism appropriate for the atmospheric chemistry of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) and piperazine (PIP). This consists of reactions of AMP and PIP with OH, NO2 and Cl considering the various possible hydrogen atom abstraction pathways available to each. These are considered the most important in the context of the likely atmospheric composition at sites where carbon dioxide amine based capture technology would be deployed. For completeness, additional reactions are reported of AMP and PIP with N2O3 leading to their adduct with NO, reactions of AMP and PIP radicals with OH and reactions of the PIP adduct with oxygen and PIP adduct with NO2 each producing an Imine. For each reaction is reported the Gibbs activation energy and the resulting rate constant for atmospheric conditions. The word document gives a description of the methodology used in the Gaussian 09 electronic structure calculation software and the resulting outputs in terms of the constituent atom cartesian coordinates, electronic configuration and energy for 77 distinct configurations of chemical reactant, product, and the intermediate step between reactant and product.

Both communal and district heat networks are included. Data about each network includes, where available, heat capacity size category, network name, status (either ‘operational’ or ‘in development’) and the main technology used (for example, ‘boiler’). There is only one point location for each network, the data does not show all connected properties or pipe layouts. Networks can serve domestic properties, non-domestic properties or a mixture of the two.
Heat networks have the potential to reduce carbon emissions from heating buildings. Alongside other heat map datasets, information on existing and planned networks is used to identify further opportunities to reduce carbon emissions. For example, by connecting more buildings to an existing network or by replacing the energy source with a nearby lower carbon alternative.
Data on heat networks comes from two sources. These are: the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero’s Heat Networks (Metering and Billing) Regulations (HNMBR) dataset and Zero Waste Scotland’s Low Carbon Heat Database (LCHD). The most recent data available is up to end July 2022 for the HNMBR dataset (though the majority of the HNMBR data included in the heat map is up to end December 2018) and January 2022 for the LCHD. More information can be found in the documentation available on the Scottish Government website: https://www.gov.scot/publications/scotland-heat-map-documents/2021-10-14T16:42:17.243786+00:00https://ckan.publishing.service.gov.uk/dataset/9adbe287-fbe4-4db7-b158-255372da2f96Energy Supply Point Locations - Scotland2024-03-26T14:15:08.703531+00:00The location of existing and planned sources of energy, both electricity and heat, is provided as part of the Scotland Heat Map. Alongside data on heat demand, this is used to identify opportunities to reduce carbon emissions from heat in buildings, either by connecting supply and demand in a more efficient manner or by using lower carbon alternatives to existing supply. Data on each energy supply point includes, where available, capacity size category, main technology used (e.g., ‘wind’, ‘biomass’) and planning status (e.g., ‘operational’, ‘in development’). This dataset is new for the Scotland Heat Map 2022 (which was released to local authorities in November 2023). It replaces the data on existing and planned energy supply in earlier versions of the heat map.
The Scotland Heat Map is produced by the Scottish Government. Data on existing and planned energy supply comes three sources. Two are UK Government sources: the Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD) and the Major Power Producers (MPP) dataset. The third is the Energy Saving Trust’s (EST’s) Renewable Heat Database (RHD). Records from the MPP dataset have only been included where they have a fuel type of fossil fuel or nuclear, or where they have a renewable fuel type but their installed capacity is less than 1 MW. This is to avoid overlap with the REPD as much as possible. Records from the RHD have only been included where they output heat only, their installed capacity is 1 MW or higher and they can be shared. The 2020 quarter 4 extract of REPD has been used. MPP data was provided by the UK Government in late 2020. The RHD provides installation information as at end December 2021.
