WEBINAR: Join us and Historic England for a dive into the new marine geophysics guidance!

Wednesday 14th January 2026 – 1pm

Marine geophysical data is frequently collected for a variety of purposes — from route planning and engineering to ecological research, resource assessment, and the detection of unexploded ordnance — with archaeological investigation often forming a key part of these projects. Historic England has released the second edition of its guidance Marine Geophysics: Data Acquisition, Processing and Interpretation, produced by MSDS Marine.

The guidance describes geophysical surveying techniques that can reveal information about the historic environment as might be encountered on, within and beneath the seabed around England. Designed for commissioners, surveyors, and end users of marine geophysical survey data, this guidance addresses the complex requirements of marine archaeology, and emphasises the importance of ensuring that survey outputs, archiving, and data accessibility meet the needs of multiple end users in line with the principle of “collect once, use many times”.

Join us at this webinar to learn more about the guidance and to ask questions of the team who has produced it.
