Marine Geophysical and Seismic Data from around the UK (1966 Onwards)
The British Geological Survey hold a collection of data recorded during marine geophysical surveys which includes digital data and analogue records. These data result from approximately 350,000 line kilometres of multi-instrument geophysical survey lines. The data include seismic, sonar, magnetic, gravity, echo sounder, multibeam bathymetry and navigation data. The seismic data are mainly for airgun, sparker, boomer and pinger. The data were primarily collected by BGS and the collection also includes additional third party data. The data are primarily from the UKCS (United Kingdom Continental Shelf). The data are stored within the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC) and the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) Data Archive Centre (DAC) for Geology and Geophysics. The majority of legacy geophysical paper records are available as scanned images viewable via the BGS Offshore GeoIndex www.bgs.ac.uk/GeoIndex/offshore.htm. Other records can be scanned on request. Older records are of variable quality. Data not yet available online including segy are available on request enquiries@bgs.ac.uk. The data are applicable to a wide range of uses including environmental, geotechnical, geophysical and geological studies. Reference: Fannin, NGT. (1989) Offshore Investigations 1966-87.

Data were collected during marine geophysical surveys using equipment such as airgun, sparker, boomer, pinger, gravimeter, magnetometer, sidescan sonar, multibeam echosounder. This dataset has been managed by BGS over a considerable period of time. Legacy paper records (data) from earlier surveys have undergone scanning and/or transcription to digital formats, with QC of the information captured and migration to the BGS Database System. Some outstanding records are still to be scanned. More recent data is captured digitally and, where appropriate, loaded to the database and network file system. Information is delivered via the BGS Offshore GeoIndex http://www.bgs.ac.uk/GeoIndex/offshore.htm.
