Upcoming webinars
Marine Geophysics: a dive into the guidance
Wednesday 14 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. Archaeological investigation often forms 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 that produced it.
Arches for Marine Historic Environment Records
Tuesday 20 January 2026, 4pm - 5pm
Join us at this webinar to explore Historic England's journey to develop its new National Marine Heritage Record application. The session will cover the rationale for selecting the Arches platform, the data modelling approach, data migration process, GIS integration, and key lessons learned. It will also provide an overview of the Marine HER Service for England and include a demonstration of the application.
Reburial of Archaeological Sites
Wednesday 4 February 2026, 1pm - 2pm
This webinar will introduce the main concepts covered in Historic England’s guidance on Reburial of archaeological sites. It covers definitions and the history of reburial in England; introduces the reburial checklist; explains the purposes of reburial assessments and their importance to reburial design; and outlines reburial material choices. The session includes case studies of past reburial designs.
Gaining an understanding of soil carbon and its management in an archaeological context
Wednesday 25 February 2026, 1pm - 2pm
This webinar will help the sector to understand the sources, functions and dynamics of soil carbon and assess how it can be managed in the context of archaeological investigations. It will outline the basic scientific understanding of the properties and dynamics of carbon in soil; the conditions and factors that influence the dynamics of carbon in soils; a summary of potential effects of archaeological investigations on the dynamics of soil carbon; and how potential losses of soil carbon can be mitigated and managed through planning and practice.
