This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical survey took place in March 2009 in the Medway & Swale Estuaries on board the Medway Surveyor. The purpose was to obtain the data necessary for the Coastal Evolution of the Medway & Swale estuary targeting the Holocene thickness and distribution of sediments within the Paleo Valley. Sea floor data were collected using a ODOM Echotrac III run by Peel Ports. Sub bottom seismic profiling data were gathered by BGS using a surface tow boomer. Most of the data were recorded digitally, but paper records were generated also. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report OR/09/014.
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.
