Marine Seabed Sediment Geochemical Data from around the UK (1975-1990)
The concentrations of up to 30 trace elements in approximately 9,000 sea-bed samples from the UK Continental Shelf were determined by BGS using a variety of analytical techniques. In some cases samples were tested using more than one method. The analyses were carried out on freeze-dried samples of the sand and mud fractions of the samples. The data are stored as part of the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC) and the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) Data Archive Centre (DAC) for Geology and Geophysics. Data are delivered via the BGS Offshore GeoIndex www.bgs.ac.uk/GeoIndex/offshore.htm geochemical layers.

Seabed sample material was collected by BGS during offshore surveys using various devices such as grabs and dredges. The concentrations of up to 30 trace elements in approximately 9,000 sea-bed samples were determined by BGS using a variety of analytical techniques. In some cases samples have been tested using more than one method. The analyses were carried out on freeze-dried samples of the sand and mud fractions of the samples. Data are stored as part of the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC).
