The latest figures from the Big Borehole Dig! #DigToShare #AGSforeveryone We now have some boreholes digitised from Wales! Keep up the good work and get involved!

Great job to all those involved! Can we get to 1000 boreholes by the end of the year?! #BigBoreholeDig

We are very excited to announce that we have WON the Industry Excellence Award at this years #BDA_Awards. It's been a very busy year for our team who collaborate together from British Geological Survey @atkinsglobal and Morgan Sindall Group #DigToShare #AGSDataForAll

We have been very busy the last few months, with the launch of the Big Borehole Dig with the BGS, Technical Excellence Award win at the British Drilling Association Awards and the release of a new Data Sharing Agreement. Read our latest newsletter here: i3p.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

We have just released a new Data Sharing Agreement between British Geological Survey and Welsh Government that is now available to view on the BGS website. For all Welsh Government funded projects, Ground Investigation data should be shared with the BGS as #opendata bgs.ac.uk/download/welsh…

Great news - loads of data to help solve geological problems and added value to work funded by Welsh Gov- whats not to love ? Dig To Share

Webinar alert: Our very own Steve Thorpe will be presenting the next BDA Webinar on 11/2/21 discussing "The Data Journey" including the Big Borehole Dig and Dig To Share. Be sure to join the webinar to find out more. #DigToShare #Geology #Boreholes #OpenData

We had quite a few deposits over the Christmas break. Let’s keep that momentum going into 2021! If you are interested in joining in with this Community Science Initiative then click the link below to find out more. Thanks to those who have deposited so far. #BigBoreholeDig

A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between the British Geological Survey and @HighwaysEngland to provide open access borehole data to the industry. This sits alongside the Data Sharing Agreements already in place with the Environment Agency, Welsh Government and Network Rail!

In the April/May Association of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Magazine there is an article all about the #BigBoreholeDig and how the Citizen Science Initiative is ensuring that our historical borehole data is available for future generations as digital data ags.org.uk/magazine/ags-m… (pages 26-28) #OpenData

And speaking of the #BigBoreholeDig here are the latest stats from the BGS, courtesy of Steve Thorpe. There has been a big push in the south over the last month but numbers are still low in the NE and Scotland. If you want to get involved find out more here: bgs.ac.uk/news/join-our-…

Here are the latest statistics from the #BigBoreholeDig, courtesy of Steve Thorpe. The green dots show where people have helped digitise borehole data across the UK which is now fast approaching 3000! Get involved find out more here: bgs.ac.uk/news/join-our-…

***Today*** is the launch of this new #EnvironmentalDataDiscovery trail. You can take part Weds-Sat and try to win one of my lovely London Lego cross-sections! digitalenvironment.org/data-trails/ #geologymatters British Geological Survey Natural Environment Research Council BGS Data

It is the 1 year anniversary since the start of the #BigBoreholeDig and there has been over 3200 boreholes digitised. This community initiative has really grown in the last year and a big thanks goes out to all those who have been involved! #Boreholes linkedin.com/posts/steve-th…
