Maritime and Coastguard Agency bathymetric survey HI1472 covers an 807 square kilometer area off the Yorkshire coast. The survey was conducted from November 2015 to February 2016 by contractor EGS to IHO S44ed5 Order 1a standards. Geological samples and associated data are archived by the British Geological Survey.
Use Cases
- Analyze bathymetric data to model seafloor topography and identify navigational hazards within the 807 sq km survey area.
- Correlate geological sample data with bathymetric readings to study seabed composition and sediment distribution.
- Use survey data collected to IHO S44ed5 Order 1a standards for hydrographic charting and coastal zone management.
