Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) Geophysical, Multibeam, Photo and Video Survey 2007/6_MESH: 2007 MESH SW Approaches Canyons Survey (04/Jun/2007 to 18/Jun/2007)

The survey was led by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, in collaboration with the Marine Institute, the British Geological Survey and the University of Plymouth. Defra Natural Environment Group Science Division (CRO 361) made a significant contribution to this work. This work contributed to the MESH project (www.searchmesh.net). The MESH Project ran between 2004 and 2008 and was made up of a consortium of twelve partners from five European countries led by the UK’s Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), with financial support from the EC’s INTERREG IIIB NWE Programme. The MESH partnership drew together scientific and technical habitat-mapping skills, expertise in data collation and its management, and proven practical experience in the use of seabed-habitat maps for environmental management within national regulatory frameworks. The aims of the R/V Celtic Explorer cruise (CE0705) on 4th-18th June 2007 were to acquire high resolution multibeam, sub-bottom profiler and camera data in the SW Approaches area, located approximately 320km southwest of Land's End. The cruise not only mapped the variable morphology of the SW Approaches area, but also investigated the biological communities within the canyon system for the assessment of potential Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) under the EC Habitats and Birds Directive (Annex I) (Johnston et al. 2002). The cruise also tested the application of the survey standards and protocols developed under the MESH project. The cruise was the first thorough test for the recently completed MESH Guidance Framework, providing a 'proof of concept' from planning to completion. The backscatter and geophysics data are archived and available for download at the British Geological Survey (BGS) MEDIN Data Archive Centre (DAC) for Geology and Geophysics. Biological and bathymetry data are archived at DASSH and UKHO respectively. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Commissioned Report CR/07/123N (http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/507379/). Final Report (http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/507378/).

Simulated yields and transmissivities for the weathered basement aquifer of Northern Ghana (ODA grants NE/R000069/1, NE/M008827/1)

This dataset was generated with a novel process-based stochastic modelling approach to investigate the productivity and sustainability of groundwater abstractions in the Precambrian basement aquifer in Ghana. The statistical distribution of the generated synthetic yield data was found in very good agreement with observed yield data from the same Ghanaian aquifer. The dataset includes more than 40,000 simulated values of maximum allowable yield and corresponding transmissivity values for different realisations of aquifer heterogeneity, net recharge values, and borehole depth. Further details about the dataset and the method of generation and collection can be found in the article by Bianchi et al. (2020) "Investigating the productivity and sustainability of weathered basement aquifers in tropical Africa using numerical simulation and global sensitivity analysis" published in the Water Resources Research journal. This research was supported by the UKRI British Geological Survey NC-ODA grant NE/R000069/1 and NE/M008827/1.

British Geological Survey (BGS) Geophysical Survey 1979/14: Shetland (10/07/1979 to 14/08/1979)

Report: Armstrong, EJ. 1979. Cruise Report for Project 79/14, West Shetland and Project 79/15, Bosies Bank. (IGS Report No 101). Project 79/14 was designed to provide regional geophysical coverage of the Foula sheet, of the IGS 1:250000 map series, on a N-S, E-W grid of lines at approximately 15km by 9 km spacing. A number of gravity lines were also to be run over the Orkney sheet to complete gravity coverage in that area. In addition, some regional geophysical lines were to be surveyed on the Halibut Bank sheet after a study of the FLAGS pipeline route with the Huntec deep tow boomer. The watergun provided superior records to those of the airgun giving resolution comparable to the sparker in fair weather, down to 800ms of sediments. Up to 400ms penetration was achieved by the sparker, while the boomer provided good resolution in the shallow section. In depths less than 300m the transit sonar was used.

Report: Armstrong, EJ. 1979. Cruise Report for Project 79/14, West Shetland and Project 79/15, Bosies Bank. (IGS Report No 101). The aim of Project 79/15 was completion of regional geophysical coverage of the Bosies Bank sheet, of the IGS 1:250000 map series, on a grid ot NS-EW lines at approximately 10km by 10km spacing. Early in leg 1 the deep tow boomer failed and was out of operation for two days. The sparker results obtained were of good quality, as were those from the deep tow boomer when it was redeployed. The deep tow boomer, 1kJ sparker, transit sonar and watergun were run on all lines in leg 2, until maintenance on the watergun necessitated replacing it with a 40 cu.in. airgun. Both the airgun and watergun achieved up to 0.7s penetration. Pinger results were generally inferior to the boomer except in good weather and so were not used on all lines.
