abstract This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical survey took place in August 1985 in the North Sea, Dogger area on board the MV Gorsethorn. The purpose was to collect data as part of the UK continental shelf survey programme. The main objective was to conduct a detailed channel study on the Dogger sheet. Sea floor data were collected using echosounder and transit sonar. Sub-bottom seismic profiling data were collected using airgun; pinger; deep-tow boomer and sparker. These records are archived by BGS. Details of the survey data processing are contained in BGS report WB/89/13R.
