The British Geological Survey (BGS) is a partly publicly-funded body which aims to advance geoscientific knowledge of the United Kingdom landmass and its continental shelf by means of systematic surveying, monitoring and research. The BGS headquarters are in Keyworth, Nottinghamshire, but other centres are located in Edinburgh, Wallingford, Cardiff and London. The current motto of the BGS is: Applied Geoscience for a changing earth. History and previous namesThe Geological Survey was founded in 1835 as the Ordnance Geological Survey, making it the world's oldest national geological survey. In 1965, it was merged with the Geological Museum and Overseas Geological Surveys, under the name of "Institute of Geological Sciences". On the 1st January 1984, the latter was renamed British Geological Survey (BGS), a denomination still carried today. From Wikipedia under the
