This collaborative marine sampling survey took place in June 2004 in the areas of the Goban Spur, Western Irish Margin, Barra Fan and Rosemary Bank onboard the R/V Marion Dufresne. The British Geological Survey (BGS) participation centred around the collection of one long sediment core in the Barra Fan, Rockall Trough. The objective was to obtain a high resolution sedimentary record for the comparison of at least 4 major glacial cycles extending possibly into the early Pleistocene. Equipment used: CALYPSO Giant Piston Core - one 37.7m core collected. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Report IR/04/126 (http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/509377/). Publication with core details see NORA http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/9636/.

This sampling and geophysical survey has been carried out by, Institute of Geological Sciences (IGS) now British Geological Survey (BGS) for BGS, the survey took place from August to December 1974 in the Bristol Channel, Irish Sea and English Channel on board the MV Whitethorn. The purpose was to collect data as part of a geological mapping programme. Sample data were collected using Drilling equipment,: Rock Gravity Corer, Sediment Gravity Corer, Vibrocorer and Shipek Grab. These data are archived by BGS. Details of the survey are contained in IGS Annual Report 1974 and IGS report 79/8.

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 sampling survey undertaken for research by University of Sheffield and the Institute of Geological Sciences (BGS) on behalf of 1 took place in April to July 1968 in the Humber Estuary on board the tug Wyke. Surveys associated with this reserach 1968/2 and 1968/8. Additonal samples were collected from the Spurn Bight tidal flats either by inflatable boat or on foot.The purpose was to collect sedimentological and geological structure data for use in a tidal model. Sediment samples were collected using a Shipek grab and a gravity corer. These data archived by BGS. Details of the survey are contained in BGS Technical report WB/MC/69/3.

This geophysical and sampling survey has been carried out by British Geological Survey (BGS) for BGS, the survey took place in August to October 1973 in the Upper Humber on board the MV Wyke. The purpose was to collect data as part of UK regional mapping programme. Sub-bottom profiling data were collected using sparker. Sample data were collected using hand corer; Vibrocorer and 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 from February to April 1972 in Northern Firth of Clyde and North Channel on board the MV Whitethorn. Sea floor data were collected using an echosounder and a transit sonar. Subsurface data were gathered using a pinger a total of 440 miles were covered. Seabed samples and cores were collected using Shipek grab, Gravity corer (sediment & rock), Vibrocorer, and wireline drilling. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report WB/72/2.

This geophysical survey has been carried out by British Geological Survey (BGS) for BGS, the survey took place in July 1989 off the coast of East Anglia on board the MV Shorething. The purpose was to collect data as part of the UK mapping programme for 1:50k special sheets. Sea floor data were collected using echosounder. Sub-bottom profiling data were collected using surface tow boomer and sidescan sonar. These data are archived by BGS. No BGS survey report currently available.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) regional marine geophysical and sampling survey (comprised of two legs) took place from September to October 1976 in North Sea and the Minch on board the RRS Challenger. The purpose was to gather data which could be used to map the regional geology of the area and investigate Pockmarks between the Forties and Piper oilfields (Leg 1), to recover solid rock from outcrops on the west coast of Scotland using Consub (Leg 2). Seabed samples and cores were collected using Shipek grab, Gravity corer and unmanned submersible Consub. Sea floor data were collected using a echo-sounder, side-scan sonar, acoustic and resistivity probes. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report 76/8.

This Sampling survey undertaken by British Geological Survey took place around the UK during 1971 on board the MV Whitethorn. The purpose was to collect data for the production of reconnaissance solid and drift geological maps of the UK continental shelf. Sample data were collected using gravity corer; vibrocorer; dredge; shipek grab and Photography. See also drilling survey 1971/8. Details of the surveys are contained in IGS report 72/10.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) regional marine geophysical and sampling survey took place in September-October 1971 in Lyme Bay on board the fishing vessel Dorset Lass. The purpose was to obtain more information on sediment transport and solid geology, carried out in conjunction with the Engineering Geology Unit. Sonar records were obtained from a KH MS.47 transit sonar. Seabed samples were collected by scuba divers. These data are archived by BGS. Summary details of the survey are contained in Institute Geological Sciences (IGS) Report 79/10.
