This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical and multibeam survey took place in January/Febuary 2012 in the area of the Moray Firth on board the RV White Ribbon. The purpose was to enable BGS to reconstruct the glacial history of the areas and place it in the wider context of the dynamics of the British Ice Sheet. Sea floor bathymetry data were collected using a Kongsberg EM3002D multibeam system. Sub bottom seismic profiling data were collected using an Applied Acoustics surface tow boomer (STB). These data are archived by BGS.
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.
