This British Geological Survey (BGS) regional marine geophysical and sampling survey took place from August to September 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. Seabed samples and cores were collected using Shipek grab, sediment dredge, Gravity corer and Vibrocorer. Sea floor data were collected using a echo-sounder. Subsurface data were gathered using seismic equipment (Pinger and Sparker). These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report 75/14.
For more detailed information on the acquisition equipment and data collection techniques, operational standards, data processing methods and quality control procedures used on this survey see the Report of Survey/Cruise Report and associated documentation where available. The information available may vary depending on the age of the survey. Data are checked and loaded to the BGS Coastal and Marine data management system following BGS marine data management procedures.
