BGS North Sea Late Cenozoic Environments

Description: The British Geological Survey (BGS), acting on behalf of the European Consortium for Ocean Research Drilling (ECORD), requires a marine coring capability and suitable vessel to operate offshore southern North Sea, Netherlands or Denmark, for a scientific drilling and coring campaign for a period of 30 days (estimated) between April and May 2027. This scientific coring project seeks to extend our understanding of Earth's dynamics during the last 50 ice ages and the warmer periods between them. The North Sea Basin is an area that was heavily impacted by these ice age cycles as climate fluctuated between fully glacial to warmer-than-present conditions. The continuous sediment accumulation found in this marine environment should be thought of as a 'tape recorder' that contain an almost complete record of glacial-interglacial episodes, (read more...)

Summary: UK Research & Innovation, through the British Geological Survey acting for the European Consortium for Ocean Research Drilling, is procuring offshore drilling services for the BGS North Sea Late Cenozoic Environments scientific campaign. The requirement is for marine coring capability and a suitable vessel to collect geological samples from the southern North Sea, in the waters of the Netherlands or Denmark.
