Metadata: 2014, Environmental Scientifics Group, Fair Head, Geological, Hydrographic and Geophysical Survey
Abstract:
In April 2014 Environmental Scientifics Group (ESG) were commissioned by DP Energy Ireland Ltd to carry out a geological desk study and also conduct a hydrographic and geophysical survey over the proposed Fair Head Tidal Energy Site and cable route options. The geological desk study was required to review and summarise the Client provided information and the geological and other data published and supplied by other agencies. The nearshore marine survey was required to provide information on seabed bathymetry and sub-bottom geology as part of the pre-engineering survey.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19003 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2014, Environmental Scientifics Group, Fair Head, Geological, Hydrographic and Geophysical Survey |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Geological, Hydrographic and Geophysical Survey |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 19bdeeec-5ccb-4169-9c2d-3e07717eb72c |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-351 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2014-04-28 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2014-05-13 |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The survey objectives were to provide information on the following within the proposed area: - Seabed levels - Bedrock level and any geomorphological features present e.g. buried chemicals -The presence of any debris or obstructions on or in the seabed sediments - Seabed characterisation - The presence of any magnetic targets. In order to meet these objectives, the following techniques were employed during the survey - Multibeam echo sounding - Single channel seismic reflection profiling - Side scan sonar - Magnetometery |
