Geology of outer Horns Rev, Danish North Sea
In 2006, Dong Energy initiated the development of the Horns Rev II offshore wind farm in the North Sea (Fig. 1). In order to evaluate and map the characteristics of the surface features of the sea bed and to characterise the subsurface in the wind farm area, the Geological Survey of Denmark and Gree...
