Variable, both locally and regionally; generally about 0.75 to 2m thick on the Yorkshire Coast and in ferruginous sandstone/ironstone lithofacies; limestone and mudstone lithofacies, up to 12.2m locally preserved. "[4], Geologically, the feature is most likely a moraine, formed during the Pleistocene. Explanation elongated, rounded or irregular ‘mound’ shapes) which may arise from horizontal or sloping plains of sandy sediment. Fox-Strangways, C. 1892. This is the largest single continuous expanse of shallow sandbank in the UK and was formed by glacial processes, before being submerged through sea level rise. (Leeds: Yorkshire Geological Society.). Jurassic of the Central and Northern North Sea. Fixed-foundation wind turbines are economically limited to maximum water depths of 40 to 50 m (130 to 160 ft; 22 to 27 fathoms);[8] at greater water depths new floating wind turbine designs are required, which currently cost significantly more to build. The Yorkshire Dogger III. A large part of the southern area of the bank is covered by water seldom deeper than 20 m below chart datum. The upper boundary is marked by the sharp change from ferruginous, bioturbated sandstone of the Dogger Formation to grey, fine- to medium-grained, locally cross-bedded sandstone with plant fragments of the overlying Saltwick Formation (Ravenscar Group). Geological Magazine, Vol.77, 177-197. Rastall, R H and Hemingway, J E. 1940. Rastall, R H and Hemingway, J E. 1949. International Journal of Offshore and Polar Engineering (1) Conference . This section is less accessible than the coastal Type Section, but it provides an example of the mixed ironstone and sandstone lithofacies typical of the Eskdale area. Exposure at the base of the cliff, west of Saltwick Bay [NZ 908 113], south-east of Whitby, North Yorkshire. The result was a British victory, and the German navy delayed further significant action against the British fleet for more than a year. In the Rosedale area, the base of the formation is generally marked by an ooidal ironstone with phosphatic pebbles sharply overlying bioturbated sandstone or ooidal ironstone of the Blea Wyke Sandstone Formation (Young, T P, 1994), although in localities where these lithologies repeat, the boundary may be difficult to place.

Thought locally to attain 29 m in the Rosedale area [SE 729 946] (Hemingway, 1974, p. 188), although Young, T P (1994) regards much of this strata as belonging to the underlying Blea Wyke Sandstone Formation in which case the Dogger Formation here is up to about 8 m thick. 7. Proceedings of the Yorkshire Geological Society, Vol. It was fought near Dogger Bank in the North Sea on January 24, 1915. The Dogger Bank Formation is here subdivided into three informal seismostratigraphic units, termed the “Basal”, “Older” and “Younger” Dogger Bank, based on the geotechnical responses combined with lateral extent of significant seismic reflections. Lithostratigraphy and depositional history of the late Toarcian sequence at Ravenscar, Yorkshire. Dogger Bank (Dutch: Doggersbank, German: Doggerbank, Danish: Doggerbanke) is a large sandbank in a shallow area of the North Sea about 100 kilometres (62 mi) off the east coast of England. 1990.

Originally projected to develop up to 9 gigawatts of power as part of a planned nine zone project of 32 gigawatts, the plan was later scaled down to a 7.2-gigawatt installation in agreement with the area's owner Crown Estates. Reference Gearey, Hopla, Boomer, Smith, Marshall, Fitch, Griffiths, Tappin, Williams, Hill, Boomer and Wilkinson 2017: 49). During the Anglian glaciation, approximately 450,000 years ago, an ice sheet filled much of the North Sea, with a large proglacial lake in the southern part fed by the Rhine, Scheldt and Thames river systems. Grey, fissile mudstone of the Alum Shale Member, Whitby Mudstone Formation (Lias Group) is overlain by yellow-brown, bioturbated, ferruginous sandstone with occasional berthierine (chamosite) ooids and phosphatized pebbles that comprise the Dogger Formation (0.75 to 1.5m thick). The result was a British victory, and the German navy delayed further significant action against the British fleet for more than a year. 2). Geologists' Association Guide, No.34. [2] The water depth ranges from 15 to 36 metres (50 to 120 ft), about 20 metres (65 ft) shallower than the surrounding sea. Rastall, R H and Hemingway, J E. 1941.

High resolution seismic data from the Dogger Bank in the central southern North Sea has revealed that the Dogger Bank Formation records a complex history of sedimentation and penecontemporaneous, large-scale, ice-marginal to proglacial glacitectonic deformation. Its hypocentre was 23 kilometres (14 mi) beneath the bank, and the quake was felt in countries all around the North Sea, causing damage across eastern England. South of Dogger Bank is the Cleaver Bank. Sedimentation of the Aalenian rocks of Yorkshire. Dogger Bank is set to be the largest wind farm in the world with a combined capacity of 3.6GW. Dogger Bank Peer Reviewed. 158-164 in Scrutton, C T and Powell, J H (eds), Yorkshire Rocks and Landscapes - A Field Guide, 3rd Edition, Yorkshire Geological Society. 1984. A Greenpeace spokesperson said "how can you continue to allow bottom trawlers to plough the seabed in a protected area? Green electricity tariffs may not actually be that green, says Which? The Basal Dogger Bank comprises a series of discrete bank-like deposits (Fig. “Luymes” in 1963 in the area between 53°50′N–54°50′N and 2°E–4°20′E brought to light that the Dogger Bank (average depth 25 m) is built up of medium-grained sand and coarse material, whereas east of the Dogger Bank is an extensive area (average depth 50 m) where fine silty sand is found. 1993. 66pp. Richards, P C, Lott, G K, Johnson, H, Knox, R W O'B. Knox, R W O B. The Blea Wyke Beds and the Dogger in north-east Yorkshire. Where both formations are dominated by mudstone, the boundary may be somewhat cryptic – that of the Dogger Formation is dark grey, less silty and of a distinctly marine aspect, that of the Saltwick Formation is paler grey, silty and with black plant debris. Lower Eskdale. Marked by an abrupt upward transition from ferruginous sandstone, ironstone or limestone at the top of the Dogger Formation to cross-stratified, non-bioturbated sandstone, siltstone and mudstone (commonly with plant fragments) of the overlying Saltwick Formation (Ravenscar Group). [9], In January 2010, a licence to develop a wind farm on Dogger Bank was granted to Forewind Ltd, a consortium of developers. Clasts in the Dogger Formation include mudstone pebbles, and fragments of ammonites and bivalves derived from the underlying Alum Shale Member. In central, north and west Cleveland there is a complex interdigitation between grey, weathering yellow-brown, berthierine (chamosite) ooidal ironstone (with siderite mudstone matrix) and pale grey limestone, medium-grained, bioclastic wackestone and packstone with peloids and ooids, generally bioturbated and locally cross-bedded.

The Dogger Bank Creyke Beck project includes the joint development of two 1.2GW offshore wind farms in the North Sea. The Dogger Bank is the largest single continuous expanse of shallow sandbank in UK waters. Dogger The action undertaken by Greenpeace had support from some of those in the fishing trade. Dogger Bank has been identified as an oceanic environment that exhibits high primary productivity throughout the year in the form of phytoplankton. The Blea Wyke Sandstone Formation (Jurassic, Toarcian) of Rosedale, North Yorkshire, UK. Dogger Bank Special Area of Conservation shown in red. The broader landscape became increasingly fragmented by the formation of estuaries, inlets and islands (Gearey et al. Until the middle Pleistocene, Great Britain was a peninsula of Europe, connected by the massive chalk Weald–Artois Anticline across the Straits of Dover. Powell, J H, Cooper, A H C and Benfield, A C. 1992. The projects Dogger Bank Wind Farm is an offshore wind farm being developed in three phases – Dogger Bank A, Dogger Bank B and Dogger Bank C – located between 130km and 190km from the North East coast of England at their nearest points. The bank is an important fishing area, with cod and herring being caught in large numbers. [11], Dutch, German, and Danish electrical grid operators are cooperating in a project to build a North Sea Wind Power Hub complex on one or more artificial islands to be constructed on Dogger Bank as part of a European system for sustainable electricity. In the Whitby area and coastal sections to the southeast, the formation consists mainly of grey, weathering yellow-brown, sideritic sandstone, medium- to coarse-grained, with sporadic phosphatic pebbles; berthierine (chamosite) ooids may be present. As such, it has been proposed by various groups to designate the area a Marine Nature Reserve. The oldest of these formations is the Dogger Bank Formation that comprises massive clays, sands and diamicts of glacial origin (Cotterill et al., 2017a), subdivided informally in this study into the Lower and Upper Dogger Bank sub-units. Although the rate of MDAC formation is unknown, examples of leaves and anthropogenic material (industrial slag) partially encrusted in MDAC indicate that formation occurs on a human, rather than a geological, time scale (Andrews, 1988; Judd et al., submitted). Hemingway, J E. 1974. [3] In September 2020, Greenpeace dropped several granite boulders from their ship Esperanza on the Dogger Bank area. Highlight matches.

During the last ice age the bank was part of a large landmass connecting Europe and the British Isles, now known as Doggerland. Geological Magazine, Vol.76, 225-233 (273-281). May be absent, locally, due to erosion prior to deposition of the overlying Saltwick Formation (Ravenscar Group). On the higher grounds, the Dogger Bank and Cleaver Bank (Fig.2), are patches covered with pebbles. Yes (1) Source. Upper Eskdale. [7] It has long been known by fishermen to be a productive fishing bank; it was named after the doggers, medieval Dutch fishing boats especially used for catching cod. Probably named after a synonym for the German Bight, the southeastern bight of the North Sea bounded by the Netherlands and Germany to the south, and Denmark and Germany to the east. Concerns had been raised when a supertrawler had been seen off the Yorkshire coast. VEENSTRA Dogger Bank, whereas BERTHO1S (1957) mentioned basalt, gneiss, granite, rhyolite, andesite, schists, quartzite, sandstone and … The Micropalaeontological Society, Special Publications. In: Knox, R W O'B and Cordey, W G (eds.) The Dogger Formation occurs as variable lithofacies across the Cleveland Basin from the Yorkshire Coast, near Whitby [NZ 480 500] to the Hambleton Hills [SE 496 827] and Howardian Hills [SE 600 600]. Geological Magazine, Vol.78, 351-370. Moreover, grab samples of boulder clay were collected in a few places. The Dogger Formation occurs as variable lithofacies across the Cleveland Basin from the Yorkshire Coast, near Whitby [NZ 480 500] to the Hambleton Hills [SE 496 827] and Howardian Hills [SE 600 600]. At the beginning of the 21st century the area was identified as a potential site for a UK round 3 wind farm, being developed as Dogger Bank Wind Farm. Black oolites in the Dogger of north-east Yorkshire. [5], Fishing trawlers working the area have dredged up large amounts of moorpeat, remains of mammoth and rhinoceros, and occasionally Palaeolithic hunting artefacts.[6]. In addition, partings, lenses and beds of grey, fossiliferous fissile mudstone may occur, and south-west of Malton, a distinctive iron-rich pebbly medium-grained sandstone facies is locally developed. Knox, R W O'B, Howard, A S, Powell, J H and van Buchem, F S P. 1991. Cleveland Basin, North Yorkshire, including the North Yorks Moors, North Yorkshire coast (between Boulby and Gristhorpe Bay) and the Howardian Hills. Rastall, R H. 1905. These indicate that the substratum of the Dogger Bank consists of moraine ridges belonging presumably to the Weichsel glaciation, the last Pleistocene glaciation. Dogger Bank is an important habitat for crabs, brittlestar starfish, jellyfish, clams, plaice, sole and sand eels. England: Shallow marine and paralic facies seen in their sequence stratigraphic context. Sample location 145 is situated south of the Dogger Bank, sample location 228 is situated on the Dogger Bank. Rapid local lateral variation is illustrated by the absence of the basal pebble bed and overlying bioturbated sandstone bed at the nearby Yew Grain section [NZ 7172 0185] reported by Young, T P (1994, fig.3). Linklaters has advised on the construction, development and £5.5 billion project financing of the Dogger Bank A and Dogger Bank B phases of the Dogger Bank Wind Farm, owned by SSE Renewables and Equinor New Energy. Subsurface data. It was fought near Dogger Bank in the North Sea on January 24, 1915. At the time of deposition, clastic sediments above the salt are uncompacted, contain siginficant pore space, and have a lower density than the salt. The bank is non-vegetated and comprises moderately mobile, clean sandy sediments. The lithofacies variation of the Dogger Formation makes selection of a type section difficult. The Dogger Bank is an extensive sublittoral sandbank in the southern North Sea formed by glacial processes and submergence through sea-level rise. 1992. The Jurassic Rocks of Britain, Vol.1. The bank was part of a large landmass, now known as Doggerland, which connected Britain to the European mainland until it was flooded some time after the end of the last glacial period. Jurassic.

The 1931 Dogger Bank earthquake took place below the bank, measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale and was the largest earthquake ever recorded in the United Kingdom. Battle of Dogger Bank, naval engagement between British and German battle cruisers during World War I. Dogger Bank SAC. The coastal region. It is a large sand bank named after an old type of Dutch fishing boats called “Doggers”, and has for centuries been a productive fishing bank (Britannica, 2017). Whyte, M A and Romano, M. 2006. Memoir of the British Geological Survey, Sheet 52 (England and Wales). From this period onwards—and certainly following the significant sea-level rise associated with the 8.2 ka event—it would be better to conceive of this landscape as the ‘Dogger Archipelago.’” At the lower boundary, sand-filled burrows extend downwards from the Dogger Formation to the underlying mudstone. It is located in the southern North Sea, approximately 150km north east of the Humber Estuary, and was formed by glacial processes before being submerged through sea level rise.

[10], Construction was scheduled to start around 2014 at the earliest, but has been repeatedly postponed. However, the best exposed and familiar sections are those in the ferruginous sandstone and ironstone lithofacies located near Whitby on the Yorkshire coast. The seafloor of the North Sea preserved many artifacts of Mesolithic people, including perfect sets of footprints left by the nomadic tribes, some containing up to 39 perfectly preserved prints. The uplands, comprising the current Dogger Bank, would probably have been cut off , forming Dogger Island, which survived for approximately another millennium. 2nd Edition, 117pp. Offshore, the Dogger Formation is equivalent, in part, to the Wroot Formation (Lott and Knox,1994) in the southern North Sea and in part to the Drake Formation in the Brent Province (Butler et al., 2005). Several shipwrecks lie on the bank. Lithostratigraphical nomenclature of the Middle Jurassic strata of the Yorkshire Basin of north-east England. In: Knox, R W O'B and Cordey, W G (eds.).

Mineralogy. The Dogger Bank is an extensive sublittoral sandbank in the southern North Sea formed by glacial processes and submergence through sea-level rise. Hoofdnavigatie. The Yorkshire Dogger IV. Rastall, R H and Hemingway, J E. 1943. It is in the Southern North Sea, approximately 150km north east of the Humber Estuary. Battle of Dogger Bank, naval engagement between British and German battle cruisers during World War I. In this study, our aim is to describe in detail the timing and processes of formation of channel networks observed in the seismic reflection data using stratigraphic relationships, alongside palaeoclimate model simulations, to identify changes in temperature and precipitation at Dogger Bank. Dogger Bank Formation. The Yorkshire Dogger I. Rawson, P F and Wright, J K (eds). The Dogger Bank wind farms located in the North Sea,UK, will comprise three 1.2GW offshore wind farms namely, Creyke Beck A, Creyke Beck B, and Teesside A. Dogger Bank wind farms, a 50:50 joint venture (JV) between SSE Renewables and Equinor, is developing the 3.6GW project, which is set to be the world’s biggest offshore wind farm. The British, Dutch and German sectors of the Dogger Bank are all protected as a Special Area of Conservation under the EU Habitats Directive for the rich fauna they contain – which includes worms, crabs, clams, small flatfish and brittle stars, which form a food source for fish and other wildlife. Any in Geologic Time (1) Journal. Dogger Bank Creyke Beck A and B would be built 77 miles (125km) off the Yorkshire coast. Dogger Bank (Dutch: Doggersbank, German: Doggerbank, Danish: Doggerbanke) is a large sandbank in a shallow area of the North Sea about 100 kilometres (62 mi) off the east coast of England. Geological Magazine, Vol.80, 209-230. Across most of the Cleveland Basin, the lower boundary is generally sharp, disconformable or unconformable on the gently folded Lower Jurassic Lias Group, marked by an abrupt change where grey fissile mudstone of the Lower Jurassic Whitby Mudstone Formation is overlain by sandstone, ironstone or limestone of the Dogger Formation. [1], The bank extends over about 17,600 square kilometres (6,800 sq mi), and is about 260 by 100 kilometres (160 by 60 mi) in extent. Earlier than January, 2015 (2) 2017 (1) to.
