This sampling and geophysical survey has been carried out by, Institute of Geological Sciences (IGS) now British Geological Survey (BGS) in collaboration with other organisations for BGS, the survey took place in November 1974 in the area east of Shetland Islands on board the RRS Challenger. The purpose was to carry out trials of cable-controlled drilling submersible Consub and collect geophysical data for identification of potential drill sites. Sea floor data were collected using echo-sounder and sidescan sonar. These data are archived by BGS. Details of the survey are contained in IGS Annual Report 1974.

Report: Tully, MC. 1970. North Channel Irish Sea Cruise Report. MGU Project 69/07. (IGS Report No. 10) Navigation: Decca Mk 12 Main Chain. Equipment: EG&G Seismic Profiling: Two sparkarrays were used firing together at 2500J and 500J respectively at just over once per second. The two arrays were used to give a greater frequency spectrum. KH Transit Sonar: Only used in latter part of the survey as the main area had been covered previously. Elsec Proton Magnetometer. MS 32 Echo-Sounder. La Coste and Romberg Air-Sea Gravity Meter. See also IGS report 71/19.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical survey took place in July 2002 in the northern Rockall Trough and the northern end of Hatton Bank on board the RRS James Clark Ross (Cruise JR76). The purpose of the survey was 1) to in fill gaps in the existing seismic data coverage in order to address specific geological problems; 2) Identify windows in the Palaeogene lavas. Seafloor bathymetry data was collected using a Kongsberg-Simrad EM120 multibeam system. Subsurface seismic data were collected using an Airgun and Sparker, these data are archived by BGS and are available for download. Gravitational field, Magnetic field data were also collected. Most of the data were recorded digitally, and paper records were also generated. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report IR/02/152 (http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/528019).

This marine geophysical survey 1993/3 (M26/2) took place from September to October 1993 in the Skagerrak, Faeroe/Shetland Channel, Spitsbergen Bank, Barrent Sea areas, aboard German research vessel MV Meteor. The British Geological Survey (BGS) provided the Deep Tow Boomer to acquire high resolution seismic profiling around the Storegga Slide as part of their contribution to the Gas and Water Seepage on the Continental Margin (SEEP) scientific programme. These data were archived by BGS. Details of the survey are contained in Meteor-Berichte report No.94-4. http://doi.pangaea.de/10.2312/cr_m26.

This geophysical survey has been carried out by Marine Geophysics Unit of British Geological Survey (BGS) for BGS, the survey took place from June to July 1971 in the North Scotland and Minch area, on board the MV Surveyor. The purpose was to collect data as part of a regional mapping programme. Sea floor data were collected using Echosounder and Transit sonar. These data are archived by BGS. No BGS survey report currently available, IGS 1971 annual report contains summary.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine sampling survey took place in 1969 in the Firth of Forth using a zodiac inflatable boat or by accessing beaches on foot. The purpose was to collect beach samples as part of an offshore regional geological mapping programme. Beach/seabed samples were collected by hand. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report ?????.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine sampling survey took place in April 1972 in the Firth of Forth on board the Wilma Russell. The purpose was to obtain data for regional geology mapping. Sea-bed samples were collected using a shipek grab. Sediment cores were collected using a gravity corer. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in report ?????.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical and sampling survey took place in October 1974 in the North Forties-South Viking area aboard the Royal Research Ship RRS John Murray. The purpose was to evaluate gamma spectrometry technique in an area where no solid outcrop would occur. This provided an opportunity to gather data in an area with no previous coverage. A total of 1290 km of data were collected in a grid of 13 survey tracks. Sea floor data were collected using a echo-sounder and a transit sonar. Subsurface data were gathered using a suite of seismic instruments (airgun, sparker, pinger). Analogue data were collected and paper records were generated. Sea-bed samples and cores were collected using shipek grab and gravity corer. The data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Technical Report WB/74/15C.

This marine sampling survey took place in August 2015 in the area of Firth of Lorne and east of Colonsay on board the NLV Pharos. The survey was carried out by the British Geological Survey (BGS). The aim of the survey was to test the BGS seabed rockdrill RD2. These data are archived by BGS.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine sampling survey took place in July 1977 south of Orkney Islands on board the RRS John Murray. This University of Glasgow, department of Geology survey was led by G. Farrow, BGS acquired data for offshore mapping. Seabed samples and cores were collected using Shipek grab, Gravity corer. These data are archived by BGS. No BGS survey report currently available.
