In recent years malaria has become the most common imported infection in the United Kingdom. This paper describes the 31 cases diagnosed in the North-East of Scotland between 1974 and 1978. Presentation of this disease in North-East Scotland, exceptional before 1974, has become more frequent recently-and this is largely due to the North Sea ‘oil boom’.

In the spring of 1920 the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries approached the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom with a view to the Association undertaking the manufacture of a large number of “Drift Bottles,” to be used in an extensive research into the resultant movements of the waters of the North Sea.

AbstractOnshore Maastrichtian strata in the United Kingdom are limited to a few small, isolated blocks of chalk floating within glacial sediments on the Norfolk coast. Isolated outcrops of Campanian and Maastrichtian chalks used to be available around Norwich but the majority of these exposures are now badly degraded. Offshore, in the North Sea Basin, there are complete chalk successions that range throughout the Upper Cretaceous and Lower Cenozoic. There is a limited succession of Maastrichtian chalks exposed on the north coast of Northern Ireland below the Cenozoic flood basalts. In the Western Approaches Basin, Maastrichtian and Danian chalks are known from exploration wells and core samples. West of the United Kingdom a number of DSDP/ODP boreholes have penetrated the Upper Cretaceous succession.Beginning in the Cenomanian, in southeast England, the whole of the Upper Cretaceous is within the chalk facies, possibly one of the longest intervals of relatively stable environment in the geological record. The Foraminiferida of the chalk have been studied for more than a hundred years and therefore the fauna is exceptionally well known and fully documented. Fifty years ago, the benthonic Foraminiferida were identified as having the potential to provide a viable zonation of the chalk facies and we now have precise, cross-basinal correlation using these taxa.The planktonic fauna is restricted by both palaeolatitude and water depth. The latter appears to be the most influential as the faunas from onshore are more limited than those recorded from the deeper waters of the North Sea Basin and the Atlantic Margin. Even with this restricted fauna, however, it is still possible to develop a general correlation with the standard Tethyan zonation based on planktonic taxa.

Offshore Oil

The annual input of petroleum hydrocarbons to the North Sea has recently been estimated to be between 100 and 170 kt and is derived from a variety of sources. Although there is uncertainty about the size of inputs from some sources, there is general agreement that the atmosphere, rivers and land run-off (including coastal sewage), and coastal oil industry activities combined with shipping, remain sources of major inputs. However, the size of annual inputs from the offshore oil and gas exploration and exploitation activities has recently increased to about 20 kt and these activities now form one of the major sources of petroleum hydrocarbons to the North Sea. This increase is almost entirely due to the use of oil-based drill-muds and the consequent discharge of drill cuttings contaminated with residual mud. At present, experience in the United Kingdom has shown that this input of fresh, unweathered oil rapidly enters otherwise uncontaminated offshore sediments, producing strictly local effects around the point-source discharges. The nature and composition of this input differs from the majority of the inputs to coastal waters and sediments, and from the diffuse atmospheric input to offshore waters. Of the 140 kt of materials other than oil discharged annually to the North Sea from oil and gas developments in the United Kingdom, 98-99% arise from drilling operations, but the vast majority of inputs from this source are biologically inert or derivatives of natural products. Surveys indicate that, of the remaining materials, less than 50 t of the more toxic products (i.e. those with a 96 h LC 50 to Crangon crangon of less than 1 part/10 6 ) are discharged into United Kingdom waters annually. The largely uncontaminated offshore North Sea waters and sediments remain little affected by offshore oil and gas developments, but if these activities enter already contaminated estuarine and coastal waters, the contamination and effects from this source will be harder to distinguish.
