The project was funded by the UK Government and utilised both BGS and Royal Navy bathymetry (depth), backscatter (seabed composition), ground-truth sampling (underwater video footage) and many other derived data layers to create the suite of bespoke geological outputs.
Example bathymetry data, a derived layer (slope) and ground truth footage used to create seabed maps. BGS © UKRI

Great turn-out for Prof. Ian Sanders talk on the early solar system. Privilege to hold pieces of rock that have travelled to Earth from the asteroid belt, and the oldest known rock - giving us clues to our own planet. @uccBEES @GeolSurvIE @tcddublin
