Great to see the results from a successful @BRITICECHRONO starting to be published. Our 6m VibroCorer was used to gather the data. 👏🏻🤓

Find out about all @BritGeoSurvey offshore equipment old and new. Did you know we’ve been sampling offshore since the 1960s? @BGSMarineGeo nitter.gq/bgsmarinegeo/status/92…

CONSUB was a BAe-BGS built ROV capable of retrieving short cores from the seabed. Only operational for a relatively short time (built in late 1960s) & was decommissioned in early 1970s. On display @BristolAero after being restored by @RotecHydraulics donated by @BritGeoSurvey.
