Example 1
Case study 1 Radon potential dataset
Question: Where are homes potentially affected by
radon gas (a cause of lung cancer)?
Why is it
important?
An estimated 1100 people per year die of
radon-induced lung cancer. The dataset
highlights where homes require radon
protective measures (where annual
average radon levels are at or above 200
Bq m-3).
Business
partner
Public Health England (PHE)
BGS data Digital geological map (DiGMapGB-50)
PHE data Long-term radon measurements from
479,000 homes in Great Britain
Impact Definitive dataset for the standard legal
radon enquiries on house purchases.
Dataset thereby protects the public who
are potentially exposed to radon.

Example 2
Case study 2 Sale of data through value-added
resellers
Question: How can BGS sell and market its applied
geological map data without significant
investment in delivery infrastructure?
Why is it
important?
To create stakeholder-focused delivery
mechanisms for geological data, and to
facilitate the delivery of that data with
other environmental/planning
information.
Business
partners
F!nd, GroundSure, Landmark, ARKexm,
Centremapslive
BGS data Numerous BGS applied geological map
products
VAR data Varied geographic data from a range of
sources and delivery infrastructure
Impact £m’s generated for resellers each year.
Reports generated that better match
users needs.

Example 3
Case study 3 Earthing dataset
Question: 11kV transformers require a secure earth or
‘ground’ with a maximum 10 ohm earth-rod
resistance. Rods are inserted up to 10 m bgl. But
how should energy companies cost and plan jobs
when they have no idea of ground conditions?
Why is it
important?
To decrease costs, energy companies need to be
able to predict ground conditions before
mobilising equipment to site to install earthing
rods

GeoVisionary
Question: How can we visualise and interpret large
geological 2D, 3D and 4D datasets?
Why is it
important?
Visualising static and time-varying data in 3D
allows geoscientists to interpret data, leading
to better understanding. It also reduces
fieldwork costs, as much preliminary work can
be performed in the office.

Software development
Impact In some cases, 70% geological map linework
can be drawn in the office. Over 30
companies use software.

Collaborative examples
• Existence of an established support team to facilitate licensing,
admin and resolve confidentiality issues
• Established business model
• Experience in creating national products
• Staff dedicated to individual projects
• Existence of product delivery mechanisms
• External data + BGS data is combined to create a commercial product
• External company packages and delivers BGS data as a service
• External company commissions BGS to create bespoke products for
their own use, using a combination of BGS and external data
• BGS works with an external company to develop the user requirements
for a piece of software, which the external company then creates and
markets.
Recipe for success…

49. © NERC All rights

Benefits of collaboration between
research scientists and industry
• Integrating industry data with BGS data can lead to new,
improved and innovative products
• Working with stakeholders, allows us to produce products
that better fulfil user requirements
• Allowing others to deliver our data means that we can
concentrate on product development
• Helps foster long-term collaborative relationships
• Helps ensure that our associated research is relevant and
timely

be introduced to a
