British Geological Survey (BGS) Multibeam Survey 2015/4 Tyne Catchment Project: Belhaven, Dunbar (15/Jun/2015 to 23/Jun/2015)

This marine multibeam survey took place from 15/06/2015 - 23/06/2015 in the area off Belhaven Beach near Dunbar, The Lothians, on board the RV White Ribbon. The survey was carried out by the British Geological Survey (BGS) on behalf of BGS. The aim of the project was to survey the near-shore region at Belhaven Bay to establish the extent of the sand shore face below low tide. The survey forms part of the Tyne Catchment Project, which aims to understand the dynamics of sediment sourcing, mobilisation, transport and deposition in the catchment of the East Lothian Tyne. Sea floor bathymetry data were collected using a Kongsberg EM3002D multibeam system. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in the BGS Report of Survey.

Data Quality

The survey was undertaken by British Geological Survey. Bathymetric data on MV White Ribbon was acquired using a Kongsberg EM3002D multibeam echosounder system. Kongsberg Seafloor Information System (SIS) version 3.9.2 (build 187) was used for online data logging. A Trimble SPS461 with Fugro Marinestar licence and a Kongsberg Seatex Seapath 200 provided vessel position, heading and attitude. Offline data processing was performed using CARIS HIPS version 8.1.5. All of the systems generally performed well. See the BGS Survey Report for further information. .
