Prior to the 1990s only few geological investigations of the seabed and the shallow geology around the Faroe Islands had been undertaken (Waagstein & Rasmussen 1975; Nielsen et al. 1981). However, in the 1990s marine geological and in particular seismic investigations were markedly intensified. Since 1993 several studies on the structure of the Faroe Islands margin and seafloor processes have been funded by the European Union, namely the ENAM (European North Atlantic Margin) project I and II (1993–1999) and the STRATAGEM (Stratigraphy of the Glaciated European Margin) project (2000–2003), and these have provided significant new information on the mechanisms shaping the Faroe Islands margin (e.g. Boldreel et al. 1998; Kuijpers et al. 1998a; Nielsen & van Weering 1998; van Weering et al. 1998). Due to the expertise and regional geological knowledge obtained during these projects the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) became involved in socalled ‘geohazard’ seabed studies of the Faroe–Shetland Channel in 1997. These investigations were financed by the petroleum industry that had begun to show significant interest in exploration of the Faroe–Shetland Channel area. The studies focused on possible natural risks that would affect Geohazard studies offshore the Faroe Islands: slope instability, bottom currents and sub-seabed sediment mobilisation
