Abstract In this paper, Persistent Scatterer Interferometry was applied to ERS-1/2 and
ENVISAT satellite data covering 1992–2000 and 2002–2010 respectively, to analyse the …

Many geological survey organisations have started delivering digital geological models as
part of their role. This article describes the British Geological Survey (BGS) model for …

Long term planning for flood risk management in coastal areas requires timely and reliable
information on changes in land and sea levels. A high resolution map of current changes in …

Engineering works carried out in central London over many decades have revealed a
number of buried hollows that exhibit curious characteristics. Some extend deep into the …

Abstract During the Neogene and Quaternary, tectonic and climatic processes have had a
profound impact upon landscape evolution in England and, perhaps as far back as 0.9 Ma …

The Thames Tideway Tunnel is 25 km long and extends west–east through central London,
beneath the River Thames for most of its route. A detailed preconstruction ground model has …

Understanding the ground and the specific geotechnical risks it presented was critical for
successful delivery of Crossrail, the£ 14⊙ 8 billion project to deliver the Elizabeth line east …

This paper describes the development of a GIS-based geotechnical system designed to face
challenges on urban geology in a Spanish mid-sized city. Its multipurpose nature is based …

Drift-filled hollows (DFHs) are a major subsurface hazard for engineering in London. They
are characterized by a steeply inclined cone-shaped hollow into (sometimes through) the …

The near-surface of London is faulted, although the locations, architecture and tectonic
origins of the faults are broadly unknown. This presents serious issues for geotechnical …
