Geophysical and Sampling Survey 1974/WH/23: Pockmark Study, Forties area (5/12/1974 to 19/12/1974)
This geophysical and sampling survey took place in December 1974 off Aberdeen, Forties area and Firth of Forth aboard the MV Whitethorn. The purpose was to collected data as a continuation of a previous Pockmark study. The cruise was organized by the Continental Shelf Unit II of the Institute of Geological Sciences (now British Geological Survey) representative from British Petroleum, the institute of Oceanographic Sciences, Bath University and the Engineering and Marine Geophysics units of IGS (BGS) took part. Bad weather hampered the planned survey work, during this time routine IGS work or equipment testing was carried our near the lea shore. Sea floor data were collected using and echosounder and sidescan sonar. Subsurface data were collected using a Pinger. Sample data were collected using gravity corer, shipek grab and vibrocorer. The survey objectives were hampered by bad weather. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the cruise are contained in BGS report WB/75/3C. BGS Geotechnical report WN/EG/76/12.
