This sampling and geophysical survey has been carried out by, Institute of Geological Sciences (IGS) now British Geological Survey (BGS) in collaboration with other organisations for BGS, the survey took place in November 1974 in the area east of Shetland Islands on board the RRS Challenger. The purpose was to carry out trials of cable-controlled drilling submersible Consub and collect geophysical data for identification of potential drill sites. Sea floor data were collected using echo-sounder and sidescan sonar. These data are archived by BGS. Details of the survey are contained in IGS Annual Report 1974.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) regional marine geophysical and sampling survey (comprised of two legs) took place from September to October 1976 in North Sea and the Minch on board the RRS Challenger. The purpose was to gather data which could be used to map the regional geology of the area and investigate Pockmarks between the Forties and Piper oilfields (Leg 1), to recover solid rock from outcrops on the west coast of Scotland using Consub (Leg 2). Seabed samples and cores were collected using Shipek grab, Gravity corer and unmanned submersible Consub. Sea floor data were collected using a echo-sounder, side-scan sonar, acoustic and resistivity probes. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report 76/8.

This British Geological Survey (BGS) regional marine geophysical and sampling survey (comprised of five legs) took place from June to August in SW Approaches and from August to October 1977 in Northern North Sea on board the MV Emerald. Seabed samples and cores were collected using Shipek grab, Day grab, Gravity corer, Vibrocorer, 1m rock drill and cone dredge. SW Approaches used Shipek grab,Gravity corer and Vibrocorer a total of 879 stations occupied. Seismic equipment was not routinely used. Sidescan sonar used on SW Approaches Leg 3. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report 77/10 to 14, Details for SW Approaches in report by C G Bradley Mv Emerald Cruise 1 June - 10 August 1977. Sample descriptions can be found in Offshore Reports 2000/35-37.

This geophysical survey has been carried out by British Geological Survey (BGS) for BGS, the survey took place in July 1989 off the coast of East Anglia on board the MV Shorething. The purpose was to collect data as part of the UK mapping programme for 1:50k special sheets. Sea floor data were collected using echosounder. Sub-bottom profiling data were collected using surface tow boomer and sidescan sonar. These data are archived by BGS. No BGS survey report currently available.

This marine geophysical survey took place from 05/07/92 – 06/07/92 in the area of the Barra Fan on board the RV Kommandor Michael. The survey was carried out by the British Geological Survey (BGS), Marine Biological Association and Dunstaffnage Marine Laboratory. The aim of the survey was to investigate the source and fate of methane in marine sediments. Sub bottom seismic profiling data were collected using a Deep Tow Boomer. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details are contained in BGS Report WB/92/27. Report: Dobinson, A. 1992. Barra Fan Project: Geophysical Operations Report - Project 92/02, https://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/529922/.

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.

This marine sampling survey was carried out by George Wimpey & Co for British Geological Survey (BGS), the survey took place in August to September 1968 in the northeast Irish Sea on board the MV Moray Firth IV. This survey was carried out for a project in conjunction with geophysical survey 1968/3. The purpose was a general investigation of sea bottom sediments and the underlying rocks following on from surveys carried out in 1967. Sediment samples were collected using a shipek grab, gravity corer (rock and sediment) and vibracorer. Sea floor data were collected using Echo sounder. These data archived by BGS. Details of the survey are contained in BGS Technical report WB/MC/69/1.

This marine sampling survey undertaken for research by University of Sheffield and the Institute of Geological Sciences (BGS) took place in October 1968 in the approaches to the Humber Estuary and River Humber on board the MV Moray Firth IV. Surveys associated with this research 1968/2 and 1968/7. The purpose was to collect sedimentological and geological structure data for use in a tidal model. Sediment samples were collected using a shipek grab and vibrocorer. These data archived by BGS. Details of the survey are contained in BGS Technical report WB/MC/69/3.

This 2D Hi-resolution multichannel seismic survey took place September 2009 in the North Channel Basin offshore NE Ireland on board the Fugro Meridian. The survey was carried out by Fugro on behalf of Natural Environment Research Council (NERC)/Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI). The aim was the evaluation of the potential development of offshore gas cavern storage sites in the salt formations of the Permo-Trias. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in FugroReport No.: FSLTD 29-00050 and futher information is available in the reports, A geological interpretation of the nearshore area between Belfast Lough and Cushendun, Northern Ireland, utilising a newly acquired 2D seismic dataset to evaluate salt layers for their potential for gas storage in salt caverns (http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/516832/) and A geomorphological interpretation of multibeam data, nearshore area between Belfast Lough and Cushendun, Northern Ireland (http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/530766/).
