This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical and sampling survey took place in October 1977 in the Northern North Sea on board the RRS John Murray. This regional geochemistry survey for the analysis of heavy metal content was the second leg of survey JM12/77, see survey 1977/12 for details of Leg 1. Seabed samples and cores were collected using Shipek grab, Gravity corer,and sediment dredge. Seismic data were collected using a pinger. A geochemical eel was also used. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report 77/15.
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.
