2001 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA1. Laboratory report on grain size analysis of seabed samples (Faroe Shetland Channel)
This report pertains to samples collected for the UK Department of Trade and Industry (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) as part of Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA1 (White Zone) from west of the Shetland Islands by Geotek Ltd from the RRS Charles Darwin during the summer of 2000. This report is the product of statistical analyses on grain size data of 109 seabed samples.

Sediment samples were collected by Geotek Ltd from the RRS Charles Darwin during the summer of 2000 as part of the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change's Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment programme. The samples were removed from either the upper 3cm of megacore, box core or day grab samples collected by the Southampton Oceanography Centre. The British Geological Survey (BGS) performed statistical analyses on grain size data provided by Geotek Ltd resulting in this report published in 2003.
