Two @EuroGeosciences offerings from me this year, neither of them icy for once!
First up is a poster featuring out @NERCscience “SmartRes” geothermal project, Wednesday pm (see pic).
And on Thurs, it’s a “Feel the Physics” poster, inc. tactile panels!
In Vienna? Come say hi!

BGS has a catalogue of images for public use. Here are some from the 'sedimentary features' collection, which has examples of unconformities & junction planes between beds of different age, brecciation, & concretions and nodules.

ALT SE coast, Sully Island. Looking N. Triassic - Carboniferous unconformity, Sully Island. Red Triassic strata in the background with a small fault in top right of photograph. Carboniferous 'Black Rock Dolomite' in the foreground dips north-east at 45 degrees The 'planed-off' surface represents the exhumed Triassic land surface. Small pebbles and flakes of Carboniferous Limestone in calcareous sandstone matrix cover the limestone on the left, the figure on the right (height 1.7 m.) is standing on a surface of bare limestone. The basal Triassic Clastic Unit can be seen to thicken towards the left.

We worked with @Cenergist & @BritGeoSurvey on the design of the two closed-loop GSHP borehole arrays for these installations at Keyworth. The arrays have been designed to deliver long-term sustainable ambient energy from the ground, whilst minimising parasitic pumping energy.
Congratulations to @BritGeoSurvey for breaking ground on their GSHP project at the headquarters in Keyworth.
The system will deliver low-carbon heat to the buildings and also serve as a 'living laboratory'.
