| Objectives | Seeking for a last Glacial proglacial lake in the southern North Sea and its possible outflow towards the Dover Strait. This survey is intended to perform a first geophysical reconnaissance of the area where the possible Last Glacial proglacial lake may have outflowed into the southern North Sea. The exact morphology and location of the outflow is currently unknown. For this first survey, we have therefore selected a large survey area across the British and Dutch continental shelfs in order to identify potential targets for future, more detailed surveys. |
