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.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 28427 |
Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Marine Geophysical and Seismic Data from around the UK (1966 Onwards) |
File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | c35db9dd-2a09-6c2d-e044-0003ba9b0d98 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | http://data.bgs.ac.uk/id/dataHolding/13605641 |
Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1966 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1966 |
Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | irregular |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | 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. |
