Statement

Geophysical equipment types used included: Echo Sounder, Magnetometer, Sidescan Sonar, Sparker and Surface Tow Boomer. Sample equipment types used included: Corer: Rock Gravity, Corer: Sediment Gravity, Corer: Vibrocorer and Grab: Shipek. The survey was undertaken by British Geological Survey. Navigation: For the main bulk of the survey area, from the Humber southwards, the Sercel Syledis system was used. To the north of the Humber, outside the projected area of coverage of the Syledis, the Motorola Miniranger MRS III was used. Equipment: EG&G Uniboom boomer with catamaran with EG&G 265 hydrophone. Atlas Deso 10 echo sounder with 2100KHz hull transducer. EG&G 9-candle spark array with 7-channel Teledyne hydrophone system. Kelvin Hughes MS47 transit sonar with IGS modification for dual operation using EPC 3200 recorder. For more detailed information see the Cruise Report.
