Title

British Geological Survey (BGS) Sampling Survey 1968/7: Sedimentology investigations: Humber Estuary (18/Apr/1968 to 31/Jul/1968)

Abstract

This marine sampling survey undertaken for research by University of Sheffield and the Institute of Geological Sciences (BGS) on behalf of 1 took place in April to July 1968 in the Humber Estuary on board the tug Wyke. Surveys associated with this reserach 1968/2 and 1968/8. Additonal samples were collected from the Spurn Bight tidal flats either by inflatable boat or on foot.The purpose was to collect sedimentological and geological structure data for use in a tidal model. Sediment samples were collected using a Shipek grab and a gravity corer. These data archived by BGS. Details of the survey are contained in BGS Technical report WB/MC/69/3.

Lineage

Sample equipment types used included: Beach Sample, Corer, Corer: Sediment Gravity and Grab: Shipek. The survey was undertaken by British Geological Survey. Information for this survey is sourced from BGS report WB/MC/69/3. Ship held on station against wind/tide without anchoring. Navigation Decca HiFix using Humber Hifix chain, Decca Mark 12 and surveying sextants checked by sectant fixes when necessary. Samples taken on foot were sited by means of pacing and prismatic compass. Inflatable boat positions were fixed by sextant. Accuracy details contained in report. Echo-sounder - Kelvin Hughes M.S.26. For more detailed information see the Cruise Report.
