British Geological Survey (BGS) Geophysical and Sampling Survey 1975/WH/5: Malin Sea (04/Sep/1975 to 21/Sep/1975)

This British Geological Survey (BGS) regional marine geophysical and sampling survey took place in September 1975 in Malin Sea on board the MV Whitethorn. The purpose was to gather data which could be used to map the regional geology of the area. Seabed samples and cores were collected using Gravity corer, Vibrocorer and borehole drilling. Sea floor data were collected using a echo-sounder. Subsurface data were gathered using a pinger. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report 75/17.
