This geophysical and sampling survey has been carried out by British Geological Survey (BGS) for BGS, the survey took place in June 1973 in the North Sea (Marr Bank and Tay-Forth map sheet areas on board the MV Whitethorn. The purpose was to collect data as part of UK continental shelf survey programme. Sea floor data were collected using echo sounder and transit sonar. Sub-bottom profiling data were collected using pinger and sparker. Sample data were collected using gravity corer; Vibrocorer; Dredge and Shipek Grab. These data are archived by BGS. No BGS survey report currently available.
