Did you know that BGS detects as many as 300 UK earthquakes each year? These are typically quite small, but larger events exceeding magnitude 5 can occur.

Seismologist Dr Brian Baptie discusses the last significant earthquake to hit the UK and how it affected the country.

At 17:00 CEST BGS volcanologist Sophie Butcher will be at #EGU24 presenting 'temporal enrichment of the seismic record of the 2018 eruption at Sierra Negra using deep neural networks' offering insight into the spatio-temporal evolution of the eruption.
