Report: Armstrong, EJ. 1978. Cruise Report for Project 78/04. SW Approaches Regional Survey. (IGS Report No 92). The four legs comprising this project were designed to extendthe regional survey of the SW Approaches to the south and west of the Scilly Isles out to the Continental Shelf edge. The survey was to be carried out using shallow seismic, gravity and megnetic techniques on a skewed 7km by 12.5km grid. Due to lack of time, this program was slightly modified.

Report: Bacon, M. 1971. Irish Sea Refraction Experiments. MGU Project 71/04. (IGS Report No 19) Positioning: Presumed to be Decca Mainchain Echo sounding: No information but may have been ORE sub-bottom profiler as on previous cruise 71/03. Seismic systems: Refraction ICI Aquaseis was the explosive source with UEL sonobuoys. No digital navigation data for this. Gravitymeter: LaCoste and Romberg gravity meter. Magnetometer: Barringer magnetometer

This sampling and geophysical survey has been carried out by British Geological Survey (BGS) (formerly Institute of Geological Sciences (IGS), the survey took place in November 1973 in the Irish Sea, St. George's Channel and Bristol Channel on board the RRS John Murray. Sample data were collected using Cone Dredge and Shipek Grab. These data are archived by BGS. BODC inventory RRS John Murray JM11/73, Cone Dredge, Shipek Grab, Echo sounder, sparker, MS47 sonar

Report: Deegan, SE. 1978. Gravity survey of the North Sea, north of 54N on MV Sperus. MGU Project 77/02. (IGS Report No 77, 89)

This marine geophysical survey was carried out by British Geological Survey (BGS) and engineers from Hunting Surveys Ltd, Sodera and IOS Barry. The survey took place 27 July to 8 August and 5-18 October 1974 in the Northern North Sea on board the MV Briarthorn. The purpose was to collect data to identify trace reflectors and features observed on deep seismic sections from the project area. Sea floor data were collected using Transit Sonar. Subsurface data were gathered using a suite of seismic instruments (airgun, sparker, pinger and watergun), plus a gravity meter and a magnetometer. These data were recorded as paper records and are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS report WB/MG/74/53.

This marine geophysical survey undertaken by Institute of Geological Sciences (BGS) took place in August 1972 in the Moray Firth and Sea of the Hebrides on board the M.V. Researcher. The survey was carried out as part of a regional mapping programme. Data were gathered for Project:72/5 using the following equipment Loch Ness: MS32 Echo-sounder, Fresh water sparker. Moray Firth: La Coste Gravimeter, 1000J Sparker, MS32 Echo-sounder. Sea of Hebrides: La Coste Gravimeter, Barringer Magnetometer, 2500J Sparker, MS47 Transit Sonar, Edo Western PDR. Blackstones Bank: Refraction, MS32 Echo-sounder. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report WB/ MG/72/35.
