This group was created to conduct a regional geophysical survey of [[UKCS|the United Kingdom Continental Shelf]] and was responsible for the discovery and evaluation of the majority of the United Kingdom's oil and gas reserves. In 1973 Robert was appointed Head of the Marine Geophysics Unit, a post which he held for ten years until 1983 when he was appointed Deputy Director of the [[British Geological Survey|BGS]].
