Scottish Coal Company Ltd (SSC) Geophysical Survey 2009/2_SCCL: Commercial in Confidence: Scottish Coal survey of Loch Fitty (23/Mar/2009 to 25/Mar/2009)

This marine geophysical survey took place in March 2009 in Loch Fitty in Fife aboard the small outboard powered 'Tuppence' provided by ACS Coring Services. This survey was carried out by the British Geological Survey (BGS) as part of a study commissioned by Scottish Coal to ascertain the depth of sediment covering the coal seams beneath Loch Fitty. BGS personnel were also involved in the operation. Subsurface seismic data were gathered using a Surface Tow Boomer. Most of the data were recorded digitally, but paper records were generated also. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report CR/09/014.
