This sampling survey was a trial with the MV Wimpey Sealab to drill in water depths greater than the depth in which the Whitethorn could operate. Five boreholes were drilled before a contract was awarded for further boreholes in North Sea.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical survey took place in July 2013 approx 15km east of the island of Mingulay on board the RV Calanus. The purpose was to obtain seismic profiles across the coral mounds of the Mingulay Coldwater Coral Reef. An additional line was collected in Sound of Mull as a test. It has provided useful information on a submarine landslide. Sub bottom seismic profiling data were gathered by BGS using an Applied Acoustics surface tow boomer (S-Boom). These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Report OR/13/033. GeoIndex Offshore - https://mapapps2.bgs.ac.uk/geoindex_offshore/home.html?cruise=2013/7&.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical survey took place from August to September 1969 in the Outer Humber area off Spurn Head, on board the MV Moray Firth IV. The purpose was to collect data as part of a regional mapping programme. Sea floor data were collected using Transit Sonar and Sidescan Sonar. Sub-bottom seismic profiling data were collected using Surface Tow Boomer; Pinger and Sparker. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS report WB/MG/69/4.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical survey took place in September 2010 in the area SW of Little Cumbrae Island, Scotland on board the RV White Ribbon. The purpose was to contribute to the geological interpretations for the Marine Environmental Mapping Programme (MAREMAP) and the Clyde Basin Project. Multibeam bathymetry data were collected using a Kongsberg EM3002D. The data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in survey operations documentation.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical and multibeam and survey took place in June/July 2012 in the area of Loch Broom and Gruinard Bay on board the RV White Ribbon. Sea floor bathymetry data were collected using a Kongsberg EM3002D multibeam system. Sub bottom seismic profiling data were collected using an Applied Acoustics surface tow boomer (STB). These data are archived by BGS.

This marine drilling survey took place from October to November 1994 in the Celtic and Irish Seas using th M/S Bucentaur. A shallow drlling consortium comprising BGS, five oil companies and three partners was formed and the purpose was to enhance the geological knowledge in the area. Six boreholes were drilled and these data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Technical Report WB/89/39C.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) regional marine sampling survey took place in two phase in July & October 1985 on the Continetal Slope north-west of Scotland on board the MV Pholas and MV Bucentaur. The purpose was to investigate Quaternary Stratigraphy and assist in the regional mapping of bedrock geology. Seabed boreholes were cored using Wireline drilling and Piston sampling equipment. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report WB/86/20C.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical and sampling survey took place in June 2004 in the Clyde estuary from Greenock to the Erskine Bridge aboard the Griffon Hovercraft. The purpose was to gather data which could be used for Estuarine Contaminant analysis. Seabed samples were collected with a manual sediment coring system ((1.5m x 6cm polycarbonate tubes, fitted with basket catcher) and trowel for surface sediment sampling). Subsurface seismic data were gathered using a surface tow boomer (C-Boom low voltage boomer and power supply unit. BGS Coda DA200 Data Acquisition system, hydrophone and thermal printer). Most of the data were recorded digitally, but paper records were generated also. Technical details of the survey are contained in Survey report 04/GH/02.

This geophysical survey is thought to have been carried out by Institute of Geological Sciences now British Geological Survey (BGS) for BGS, the survey took place in June to July 1970 in the Tiree area and south of Mull on board the RV Vickers Venturer. The purpose is thought to have been to collect data as part of the UK regional mapping programme. Beach sample data were collected for the marine geology unit UK regional mapping programme. No BGS survey report currently available however reference to other RV Vickers Venturer surveys undertaken by IGS can be found in IGS reports 71/16 and 73/14.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine sampling survey took place in July 1978 in the North East Atlantic Ocean aboard the FRV Scotia. The purpose was to obtain data for regional geology mapping. Sea-bed samples were collected using a shipek grab. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in report ?????.
