British Geological Survey (BGS) Geophysical and Sampling Survey 1975/WH/17: Northern North Sea, East of Shetland (15/Aug/1975 to 02/Sep/1975)

This British Geological Survey (BGS) regional marine geophysical and sampling survey took place from August to September 1975 in North Sea on board the MV Whitethorn. The purpose was to gather data which could be used to map the regional geology of the area. Seabed samples and cores were collected using Shipek grab, sediment dredge, Gravity corer and Vibrocorer. Sea floor data were collected using a echo-sounder. Subsurface data were gathered using seismic equipment (Pinger and Sparker). These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report 75/14.
