Statement

Core material and seabed samples were collected during offshore surveys using various sampling techniques. Sampling equipment used includes shallow coring devices such as vibrocore, gravity core, seabed drill and seabed sampling devices such as grabs and dredges. Sample material was then described/analysed. This dataset has been managed by BGS over a considerable period of time. Legacy paper records from have been scanned and transcribed to digital formats where appropriate, with ongoing QC of the information captured and migration to the BGS Database System. More recent data is captured digitally and, where appropriate, loaded to the database and network file system. Information is delivered via the BGS web site.
