This British Geological Survey (BGS) regional marine sampling survey took place from August to December 1985 on board the British Magnus. Seabed samples and cores were collected using Shipek grab, Vibrocorer, Gravity corer, rock drill and sediment dredge. These data are archived by BGS. Trials of a camera grab were also undertaken. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Reports WB/85/12-14, 16, 17, 19, 21 & 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.
