The objective was to obtain a high resolution sedimentary record for the comparison of at least 4 major glacial cycles extending possibly into the early Pleistocene. Equipment used: CALYPSO Giant Piston Core - one 37.7m core collected. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Report IR/04/126 (http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/509377/).
