abstract This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine sampling survey took place in April 2012 on Lake Windermere using the White Ribbon and a floating pontoon from Uwitec. The aim was to collect a number of short and long gravity and piston cores (equipment supplied by Uwitec) to examine the sedimentary succession from the LGM through to present day Holocene deposits. The White Ribbon was used to acquire lakebed Van Veen grab samples to examine anthorpogenic pollution signals within the lake, and also to run a number of LBV transects looking specifically at the depth boundary between cobbles and Holocene organic Gyttja, and also to acquire updated information on the autumn and spring spawning grounds for the Arctic Charr.
