This sampling survey has been carried out by Institute of Geological Sciences now British Geological Survey (BGS) for BGS, the survey took place in September 1975 in Mersey estuary on board a Sealand hovercraft. The purpose was to carry out marine sampling work in conjunction with the IGS Applied Geophysics Unit gravity survey. Sea-bed samples were collected by beach sampling methods and photography. These data are archived by BGS. No BGS survey report currently available, IGS 1975 annual report contains summary.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) geophysical and sampling survey took place in July/August 1975 in North Sea on board the MV Whitethorn. The purpose was to gather data which could be used to map the regional geology of the area and investigate pockmarks. Seabed samples and cores were collected using Gravity corer and Vibrocorer. 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 75/19. BGS MGU report 98 & UC97. BGS Geotechnical report WN/EG/76/12.

Blackstones Bank: Refraction, MS32 Echo-sounder. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report WB/ MG/72/35.

This marine multi-channel geophysical survey commissioned by the British Geological Survey (BGS), acquired by Delta Exploration Inc. and processed by Seiscom Ltd took place October 1972 and July 1973 in the Moray Firth aboard m.v. Caribe Tide. The survey was carried out as part of a regional mapping programme. Data were gathered using the following equipment Navigation: SAT/NAV; Subsurface data were gathered using a gas/airgun (sleeve exploder), 640 km were covered in a grid of 14 lines. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in an Acquisition Report (SO/90/029). Seismic Interpretation Training Package, IGS reports 74/12; 75/11 and BGS Techincal Report WB/92/37 includes data from this survey.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine sampling survey took place in July 1968 in the Forth Approaches on board a 50ft fishing boat MV Girl Anne III. The work was of an experimental nature partly designed to evaluate equipment and technique. 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 IGS report 70/1.

This geophysical magnetic survey has been carried out by, Institute of Geological Sciences (IGS) now British Geological Survey (BGS) in cooperation with Hydrogrphic Department of the Navy for BGS, the survey took place from spring/summer 1972 in the western English Channel on board the MV Researcher. The purpose was to collect data as part of a regional geophysical survey programme. Details of the survey are contained in IGS Annual Report 1972.

This Institute of Geological Sciences (IGS) now British Geological Survey (BGS) marine sampling survey took place during 1969 in the Humber Estuary. Beach and tidal areas were accessed either on foot or by inflatible boat. The purpose was to obtain data for regional geology mapping. The four boreholes drilled were logged by BGS Conitinental Shelf Unit 1 in conjuction with the Yorkshire and East Midlands Unit. Sea-bed samples were collected by hand and drilling boreholes. These data are archived by BGS. Summary details of the survey are contained in IGS annual report 1969.

This geophysical survey has been carried out by British Geological Survey (BGS) for BGS, the survey took place in June 1974 in Plymouth Bay area, western English Channel on board the MV Briarthorn. The purpose was to collect data as part of UK regional mapping programme. The main objectives were the completion of gravity coverage between MOD surveys to the south and the coast of Plymouth Bay. Acquisition of sparker data along deep seismic lines. Completion of routine sparker coverage over the IGS 1:250000 Lands End sheet, and the eastern part of the IGS 1:250000 Lizard sheet. Sub-bottom profiling data were collected using Sparker. Seabed data were collected using Transit sonar. Gravity and Magnetometer data were recorded. Navigation: Decca Main Chain. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS report WB/MG/81/114.

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 geophysical and sampling survey took place June to July 1972 in Moray Firth and north of Scotland on board the MV Whitethorn. Sea floor data were collected using an echo sounder. Subsurface data were gathered using a pinger, a total of 143km were covered. Seabed samples and cores were collected using a shipek grab, vibrocorer, shell and auger and wireline drilling equipment. Seventeen borehole sites were occupied. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report WB/72/4.
