Description: The British Geological Survey hold a collection of data recorded during marine geophysical surveys which includes digital data and analogue records. These data result from approximately 350,000 line kilometres of multi-instrument geophysical survey lines. The dataset includes seismic, sonar, magnetic, gravity, echo sounder, multibeam bathymetry and navigation data. The seismic data are mainly airgun, sparker, boomer and pinger data. Most of the data were collected by BGS, but the collection also includes some third party data. The data are primarily from the UKCS (United Kingdom Continental Shelf). The data are stored within the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC) as the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) Data Archive Centre (DAC) for Geology and Geophysics. The majority of legacy geophysical paper records are available as scanned images. Other records can be scanned on request. Older records are of variable quality. Data not yet available online, including digital SEG-Y data, are available on request from enquiries@bgs.ac.uk. The data are applicable to a wide range of uses including environmental, geotechnical, geophysical and geological studies. For more information, refer to Fannin, N. G. T. (1989) Offshore Investigations 1966-87. British Geological Survey Technical Report WB/89/2, British Geological Survey. http://data.bgs.ac.uk/id/dataHolding/13605641

Description: The British Geological Survey (BGS) holds an archive of multibeam backscatter data from BGS, the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) and other organisations. The data are stored within the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC) as the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) Data Archive Centre (DAC) for geology and geophysics. The majority of the data were collected and processed for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) under the Civil Hydrography Programme (CHP). Backscatter image files for a survey can be downloaded (in GeoTIFF format) using the URL link provided or via the Deposited Data Search (https://webapps.bgs.ac.uk/services/ngdc/accessions/index.html?simpleText=backscatter&subjectList=3159). Backscatter data are useful for seabed characterisation for geological and habitat mapping. BGS works with the DAC for bathymetry data at the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) to archive the backscatter data. View and download the related bathymetry data via the ADMIRALTY Marine Data Portal: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/inspire-portal-and-medin-bathymetry-data-archive-centre. http://data.bgs.ac.uk/id/dataHolding/13605639

Description: Available metadata for oil and gas industry site surveys, including their geographic locations. As the Data Archive Centre (DAC) for geology and geophysics for MEDIN (the Marine Environment Data and Information Network), the British Geological Survey (BGS) has been indexing metadata relating to oil and gas industry site surveys since 2009. The metadata describe site survey data acquired under exploration and production licences by oil companies from 1997 onwards. The metadata have been collected in collaboration with the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) (now the North Sea Transition Authority, NSTA). The metadata collected include: survey name; survey reference number(s); originator (or operating licencee); survey area boundary; contractor; start date; end date; survey description; additional information (including the equipment used); and the data custodian at the time of metadata submission. BGS hold only the metadata, not the data. To access the data, first check whether the data are provided by the NSTA through the National Data Repository (NDR) at https://ndr.nstauthority.co.uk/. If the data are not available, the NDR may be able to contact the data custodian to obtain the data. http://data.bgs.ac.uk/id/dataHolding/13608297

Description: This dataset is the complete collection of the British Geological Survey (BGS) held Marine Survey data. The data held includes digital data and analogue records, plus associated physical sample material. Data are stored within the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC) and the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) Data Archive Centre (DAC) for Geology and Geophysics. BGS have collected marine survey data since 1966, and have also been provided with a range of third-party data. The data includes geophysical data (seismic reflection, side-scan sonar, multibeam echosounder bathymetry and backscatter, gravity and magnetics) and sample data from boreholes, cores and seabed grabs (logs, geological description, geochemical, particle size analysis and geotechnical data). The majority of surveys are within the United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS) area. Individual survey data coverage varies, depending on survey type (sampling, geophysics, multibeam or multi-disciplinary) and objectives (regional or local, shallow or deep). These data are applicable to a wide range of uses including environmental, geotechnical, geophysical and geological studies. A summary layer of areas covered by individual marine surveys, including links to downloadable data where available, is available on the BGS GeoIndex. Additional data are available on request to enquiries@bgs.ac.uk. http://data.bgs.ac.uk/id/dataHolding/13605638
