The British Geological Survey (BGS) was established as the Ordnance Geological Survey in 1835 under the Board of Ordnance. The Geological Survey Act of 1845 provided the Survey with a legal framework designed 'to facilitate the completion of a geological survey of Great Britain and Ireland.' As a public sector organisation BGS is responsible for advising the UK government on all aspects of geoscience as well as providing impartial geological advice to industry, academia and the public. The BGS is part of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), which is the UK's main agency for funding and managing research, training, and knowledge exchange in the environmental sciences.
Responsibility for the Survey passed from passed from the Board of Ordnance to the Office of Woods, Forests, Land Revenues, Works and Buildings, and then to the Department of Science and Art, and in 1919 to the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR). In 1965 the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) became the Survey's parent body.
