Brits in quake/news mode: BGS tracks UK geology and geoscience; births, quakes, and hazards. HQ in Keyworth; public geoscience research body.
Scientists have revised the timeline for Northern Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway formation, linking it to a global volcanic event and shortening the estimated period of lava flows to 5.5 million years. The research connects local basalt columns to activities across the North Atlantic, including Scotland and Greenland, refining the geological history of the region.
