Environment Agency (EA) Geophysical Survey 2001/3_ENA: Commercial in Confidence: Mouth of the Humber Estuary, Spurn Point, The Binks (21/09/2001 to 24/09/2001)

This marine geophysical survey took place in September 2001 in the Humber area on board the Humber Surveyor. The survey was carried out by the British Geological Survey (BGS) for the Environment Agency, Yorkshire Region, to supply additional data to the Humber Estuary Shoreline Management Plan Phase II. The geophysical techniques employed were high resolution seismic profiling using a surface tow boomer, sidescan sonar and echo sounder. Most of the data were recorded digitally, but paper records were generated also. The data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report CR/01/241.
