Landslides can reshape the landscape in an instant. Entire slopes can collapse, sending rocks, soil and debris downhill at very high speeds. But what happens during these events, and how can we study them? ⛰️ In this quick experiment, engineering geologist Dr Nikhil Nedumpallile-Vasu demonstrates how factors such as sediment composition, slope angle and infrastructure influence landslide behaviour. | British Geological Survey

You've probably heard of the ichthyosaur before, but have you heard of an iffy-osaur? 🦕 Today our collections manager Simon Harries shows us a 175 year old fossil sample - with a bit of a twist! | British Geological Survey

Our new science strategy identifies maps and models as a key focus area going forward. We aim to deliver a new programme of systematic 2D and 3D geological survey for the UK, targeting strategic priorities onshore and across our continental shelf. | British Geological Survey
