This sampling survey, aboard the drilling vessel Mariner owned by Heerema Marine Contractors, was part of the British Geological Survey (BGS) Regional Mapping Programme and aimed to drill boreholes in areas covered by Quaternary sediments too thick for vibrocoring or gravity coring methods. The results would aid with the interpretation of shallow and deep seismic records used in the compilation of geological maps. Boreholes were drilled at twenty three sites. ?WB/MI/81/15, 18,19C?

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine sampling survey took place in November 1977 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 rock dredge. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in report ?????.

This sampling survey has been carried out by British Geological Survey (BGS) for BGS, the survey took place in August to October 1975 in the North Sea and Forth Approaches on board the MV Whitethorn. The purpose was to collect data as part of UK continental shelf survey programme. Sample data were collected using gravity corer; Vibrocorer; Dredge: Sediment or Shell; Shipek Grab. These data are archived by BGS. No BGS survey report currently available.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) regional marine geophysical and sampling survey took place in September 1975 in Malin Sea on board the MV Whitethorn. The purpose was to gather data which could be used to map the regional geology of the area. Seabed samples and cores were collected using Gravity corer, Vibrocorer and borehole drilling. Sea floor data were collected using a echo-sounder. Subsurface data were gathered using a pinger. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report 75/17.

Report: Brett, CP. 1981. Cruise Report on Project 81/03. A Regional Geophysical Survey in the Southern North Sea. (IGS Report No 119) The primary objective was to complete the geophysical survey of the Tyne-Tees, California and Silver Well sheets of the IGS 1:250000 map series in advance of bottom sampling programme.

Report: Armstrong, EJ. 1978. Cruise Report for Project 78/04. SW Approaches Regional Survey. (IGS Report No 92). The four legs comprising this project were designed to extendthe regional survey of the SW Approaches to the south and west of the Scilly Isles out to the Continental Shelf edge. The survey was to be carried out using shallow seismic, gravity and megnetic techniques on a skewed 7km by 12.5km grid. Due to lack of time, this program was slightly modified.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical and sampling survey took place from May to June 1977 in Northern North Sea on board the RRS John Murray. Seabed samples and cores were collected using Shipek grab, Gravity corer and cone dredge. Seafloor data was collected using Transit Sonar (MS47). Subsurface seismic data were collected using a Pingerand Sparker. A geochemical eel was also used. Towed seabed Gamma-ray spectometer demonstation - Report by Miller & Roberts. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report ??.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) regional sampling survey (comprised of two legs) took place in September/October 1980 in North Sea and the Minch on board the MV Mariner. Four seabed boreholes were drilled using Christensen equipment. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Reports 80/12 & 15.

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.
