Description and Table of Contents
Description
The sea area discussed in this report is delimited to the north by the south coast of England and to the south by the median line separating French from UK waters. The area featured in pioneering offshore geological exploration but less work has been carried out by the oil industry in this area than in the adjacent North Sea and South Western Approaches. However, surveys related to both aggregate studies and the Channel Tunnel have been important sources of data, and the area has been the subject of much academic research. This report concentrates on UK waters, but mention is made of the geology of both French waters and the coastal areas on either side of the English Channel.
