This British Geological Survey (BGS) regional sampling survey took place from August to November 1984 around North of Scotland, the Minches, Central and Southern North Sea on board the British Enterprise Four. Seabed samples and cores were collected using Shipek grab, Gravity corer, Vibrocorer and rockdrill. Geochemical subsamples were obtained at selected sites. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Marine Geology Internal reports 84/11, 13, 16, 19, 20,22, 23.
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.
