Data Quality

Sediment samples were collected by Geotek Ltd from the RRS Charles Darwin during the summer of 2000 as part of the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change's Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment programme. The samples were removed from either the upper 3cm of megacore, box core or day grab samples collected by the Southampton Oceanography Centre. The British Geological Survey (BGS) performed statistical analyses on grain size data provided by Geotek Ltd resulting in this report published in 2003.
