Survey Details: Hydrographic and geophysical survey

Survey Details: The proposed research cruise is to has 2 clearly-defined scientific objectives: 2. To increase our understand of seabed and sub-seabed conditions in areas of good grid connectivity (west, south and east coasts) at the 12 mile limit where offshore windframs are most likely to be developed by: a) repeat multibeam bathymetric and backscatter mapping to assess seabed dynamics b) collectin spark seismics to assess sub-seabed conditions eg. Depth to be rock, depth to till c) seabed sampling to collect samples for particle size analysis to assess maximum benthic current speeds d) collection of vibrocores for CPT analysis and appraisal of upper seabed conditions
