This British Geological Survey (BGS) geophysical and sampling survey took place in May 1974 in the South Forties area using the MV Whitethorn. The main purpose was to compare methods of geophysical profiling and geotechnical testing. Sea-bed samples and cores at fifty seven stations were collected using Gravity corer, Vibrocorer and shipek grab/camera. Geophysical lines run included Pinger, sparker, boomer and echosounder equipment. Position fixing during the cruise was Decca Main Chain. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Technical Reports WB/MI/74/10.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) regional marine sampling survey (comprised of five legs) took place from May to August 1980 in North Sea and west of Shetland on board the MV Whitethorn. Seabed samples and cores were collected using Shipek grab, Gravity corer, Vibrocorer and Midi drill. These data are archived by BGS.Geotechnical analysis details are contained in BGS internal report EGS/80/4. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report 80/4-7, 9.

This marine geophysical survey undertaken for research has been carried out by British Geological Survey (BGS) took place from February to March in the 1968 on board the Humber Conservancy Board survey ship E.P. Hutchinson. Surveys associated with this reserach 1968/7 and 1968/8. The purpose was to collect data as part of a study of the Humber Estuary sediment type distribution; geological structure of the superficial deposits; depths to rockhead beneath superficial deposits and structure of solid rocks. Sea floor data were collected using echosounder and Sidescan Sonar. Sub-bottom profiling data were collected using Pinger and Sparker. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in IGS report 69/3 (WB/MC/69/3). McQuillin, R. 1969. Cruise Report: Humber Investigations, 1968.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical and sampling survey took place in September 1977 in the Haig Fras area on board the RRS Challenger. The purpose of the project was to carry our trials of unmanned submersible Consub. Geophysical data were collected using Echo sounder; Precision Depth recorder (PDR) and Sidescan sonar. Seabed samples were collected using unmanned submersible (CONSUB); gravity corer; rock gravity corer; rock dredge and shipek grab.

This BGS marine geochemical, geophysical and sampling survey took place in November/December 1974 in the North Sea, East of Teeside aboard the Royal Research Ship RRS John Murray. The purpose was to carry out marine sampling work in conjunction with the IGS Geochemistry Unit. A total of 583 km of data were collected Sea floor data were collected using a echo-sounder, transit sonar and a towed gamma spectrometer. Subsurface data were gathered using a pinger and sparker. Analogue data were collected and paper records were generated. Sea-bed samples and cores were collected using shipek grab and dredge. The sample data are archived by BGS. No BGS survey report currently available, IGS 1974 annual report contains summary.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical survey took place from the May to June in the SW Approaches on board the TSS profiler. The purpose was to collect data for regional survey of the UK continental Shelf. See Survey 1973/7 for the second phase of the project. A total of 6395km over 91 survey lines were collected during 1973/6 (Lines 1-49) and 1973/7 (Lines 50-91) surveys. Sea floor data were collected using echo sounder and transit sonar. Sub-bottom profiling data were collected using gravity meter; magnetometer; pinger and sparker. The data were recorded as paper records. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS report WB/MG/74/48.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) regional marine sampling survey took place in May/June 1984, North of Scotland on board the drillship Ferder. Seabed borehole cores were collected using wireline coring system. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Marine Geology Report 84/9.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical survey took place in May and June 1985 in the NW continental margin on board the MV Gorsethorn. The purpose was to collect data as part of the UK continental shelf survey programme. The main objective was to survey a series of deep-tow boomer/sparker profiles down the West Hebridean and West Shetland slopes. Sea floor data were collected using echosounder; deep-tow sidescan sonar and transit sonar. Sub-bottom seismic profiling data were collected using pinger; deep-tow boomer and deep-tow sparker. Gravity data were recorded. These records are archived by BGS. Details of the survey data processing are contained in BGS report WB/89/12R.
