| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The assessment of the geology set out in this report has been made using the following sources: ? United Kingdom Offshore Regional Report – the Geology of the Malin-Hebrides sea area (Fyfe, Long, Evans, & Abraham, 1993); ? British geological Survey Seabed Sediment Maps of Tiree (British Geological Survey, 1988); ? British Geological Survey Quaternary Geology Maps of Tiree (British geological Survey, 1987); ? British Geological Survey Solid Geology Maps of Tiree (British geological Survey, 1986); ? Mull and Iona – A Landscape Fashioned by Geology (Stephenson, 2005); and ? Rum and the Small Isles – A Landscape Fashioned by Geology (Goodenough & Bradwell, 2004). It should be noted that the area has attracted relatively little interest from the UK oil and gas industry, so that records of this area of continental shelf are much less detailed than can be expected in other parts of the UK. A technical review of the site geology has been carried out with Dr Jackie Skipper of Geotechnical Consulting Group / Natural History Museum. |
