Historie og tidligere navn

[rediger | rediger kilde]

The British Geological Survey ble grunnlagt i 1835 med navnet Ordnance Geological Survey, noe som gjør det til verdens eldste nasjonale geologiske Institutt. I 1965 ble de slått sammen med Geological Museum og Overseas Geological Surveys, under navnet «Institute of Geological Sciences». Den 1. januar 1984 ble sistnevnte omdøpt til British Geological Survey (BGS), navnet som er i bruk i dag.
