| Description: | Trial launch of the Institute of Geological Sciences 5 m. shallow corer. This was a coring device developed by the Institute of Geological Sciences (now British Geological Survey). It was lowered to the sea bed then could take a core up to 5 m. in length. There was a need to develop shallow coring devices to obtain information on the nature of the material underlying the sea-bed sediments. Such devices are used in site-investigation work, for example, platform installation or pipe laying. |
