| abstract |
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.
