2002 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA4 Environmental Survey Kommandor Jack SEA4 Survey Leg 2 July/August 2002. Seabed sampling survey with video and photography.

As part of the Department of Trade and Industry's (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) Strategic Environmental Assessment project for Area 4 (SEA4) an environmental survey was carried out from the R/V Kommandor Jack. The aim of the survey was to acquire information about specific aspects of the environment and its sea floor habitats of the Faroe Shetland Channel by describing the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the area. Seabed sampling, video and still photography were carried out during the survey. A total of 79 sites were sampled for biological and chemical analyses, of which 76 sites were also sampled for geological analysis. (138 samples were collected).

A Physical/chemical sampling quality assurance report and a BGS report which includes details of geological and geotechnical analyses carried out on board ship.

2003 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA5 Cruise report, RV Kommandor Jack, Part B Biology Survey, North Sea

Seabed sampling with video and digital stills photography; Moray Firth, Southern Trench, Sandy Riddle, Pobie Bank, Braer Study Area, Fair Isle, Papa and Turbot Banks, Smith Bank and JONSIS Transect. This report forms the second of two reports relating to 2 research cruises undertaken on behalf of the Department of Trade and Industry (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) during the Strategic Environmental Assessment 5 (SEA5). Data were collected by the RV Kommandor Jack during the period September 17th - October, 8th, 2003. The report describes the collection of a variety of benthic sediment samples for the analysis of particle size, hydrocarbon and heavy metal content, and benthic fauna composition. These were collected in order to enable groundtruthing and interpretation of the various geophysical data-sets collected during the first cruise. In addition, marine video surveying techniques were used to photograph parts of the seabed.

2005 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA7 Marine Mammal Observations - Kommandor Jack, July - August 2005 (NE Atlantic west of Scotland)

Valuable observational data were collected, from remote sea areas in the northeast Atlantic where cetacean observations are not routinely conducted. Marine mammal observations were carried out daily, over a 28 day period in July and August 2005, as part of a geophysical survey on  MV Kommandor Jack for the Department of Trade and Industry's (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA7 west of Scotland. This report describes exactly how and where the marine mammal observations were made. It also presents and summarises the 40 sightings that were made during the course of the survey.

2005 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA7 seabird and marine mammal observations onboard the RSS Charles Darwin during British Geological Survey cruise CD174 in the Rockall Trough

As part of the Department of Trade and Industry's (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA7, a seabird and cetacean survey was undertaken. The track passed through the Firth of Clyde, the North Channel and the adjacent continental shelf before covering the Rockall Trough as far as the eastern margin of the Rockall Bank and the southern margins of Anton Dohrn Seamount. For much of the survey the weather was unseasonably poor and data was frequently collected in marginal conditions. At total of 7578 birds of 37 species were recorded. Of these 26 species were seabirds and the remainder were migrant passerines, hirundines and geese. Fulmars were the most abundant birds seen during the survey, followed by gannets and great shearwaters, which were recorded in unusually high numbers. The latter species may have been more abundant because of atypically strong westerly winds. Five species of cetacean were seen, with short-beaked common dolphins being the most abundant, followed by long-finned pilot whales and sperm whales. Other sightings included one blue shark and one sunfish. Seabird and cetacean densities were low in much of the study area but were elevated on the continental shelf, especially near the Stanton Bank, at the southern margins of the Anton Dohrn seamount and along the eastern margin of the Rockall Bank.

2001 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA2 Kommandor Jack SEA2 Survey Leg 1 - geophysical survey (North Sea)

As part of as part of the  Department of Trade and Industry's (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA2) a geophysical survey was carried out  in three different quarters of the North Sea: Norfolk Coast (Area 1), Dogger Bank (Area 2) and Fladen Ground (Area 3) from Kommandor Jack SEA2 Survey Leg 1, 2001. Multibeam, sidescan sonar and chirp seismic data were collected. 

The survey was carried  to identify potential offshore Special Areas of Conservation (SACs). It was necessary to acquire data on specific features identified in the EU Habitats Directive, such as sandbanks and pockmarks, some of which might subsequently be defined as SACs. The survey was carried out in two legs. Leg one included the geophysical surveys in three different quarters of the North Sea as well as the charting which was used to guide the sampling and photographic work on the second leg.

The following data are available - 25 files of processed multibeam data. Screenshots of backscatter processing are also available.
Side-scan mosaics. Images are available from 15 boxes.

2002 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA4 Kommandor Jack SEA4 Survey Leg 1 - geophysical survey (north UKCS)

As part of the Department of Trade and Industry's (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA4) a geophysical survey of the UKCS north of Shetland (Northern Triangle) was carried out. 

The objectives were to collect EM120 multibeam and backscatter data over the northernmost area of the UKCS, known as the northern triangle (an area defined approximately by the points 60 30 N, 03 30 W, 61 0 N, 01 40 E and 63 50 N, 0.5 W). The aims were to: create a regional bathymetric map of the northern triangle in the water depths between 600 and 2400m; obtain regional EM120 backscatter data over the same area; define the extent of the mud diapir province discovered during previous reconnaissance TOBI and seismic cruises; create high resolution bathymetric and backscatter maps of specific features, such as the mud diapirs; carry out a reconnaissance survey of the shallow water part of the northern triangle (200 and 500m water depth) collecting both bathymetry and backscatter data using an EM1002 multibeam system; complete, during the cruise, a preliminary interpretation of the above data, to be used as a guide for the sampling and seabed photography cruise which followed immediately.

Multibeam and chirp seismic data and sidescan sonar data were collected. Data are available.
21 processed multibeam files are available. Raw data, backscatter mosaics and bathymetric contours also available.
Seismic data are also available.

Potentially Vulnerable Areas (PVAs)

Potentially Vulnerable Areas (PVAs) are geographical areas that are designated for flood management under the Flood Risk Management Act (Scotland) 2009. They show parts of catchments and coastal areas where nationally significant flood risk exists now or is likely to occur in the future. PVAs are located within Flood Risk Management Local Plan Districts (LPDs) which are a broader unit of management.  PVAs help SEPA and responsible authorities in Scotland understand and prioritise where work could benefit the most. They are a vital part of protecting people, properties, businesses, communities, infrastructure and our environment.

The following probabilities are available for coastal flooding: - High - 10 year return period - Medium - 200 year return period - Low - 1000 year return period and 200 year return period plus climate change using the UKCP09 high emissions scenario for the 2080s.The coastal hazard maps show (where available): - Flood extent - Flood depth's where appropriate. The climate change scenario has been defined by United Kingdom Climate Projection 2009 (UKCP09) predictions for 2080 high emissions 95%ile predictions. Medium and low probability flood events were selected for consistency with return periods used in Scottish Planning Policy, whereas the high probability was chosen as it is reflective of observed events experienced over the last few decades
