Short Description
 |
| Example data product - Sediment classification, Northern Gulf of Mexico |
Statement: dbSEABED describes the materials and features of the global seafloor.
Abstract: dbSEABED is a Database/GIS that deals with the materials and features of the seabed. It holds data describing about 2 million seafloor sites. dbSEABED deals with the grain size textures, strengths and porosities, carbon and carbonate compositions, colors, structural features, and grain components of the seafloor. The scope of dbSEABED is global, from shor '"`UNIQ--gallery-00000000-QINU`"' eline and continental shelf to the abyssal floor, addressing terrigenous-, volcanic- and biogenic-derived materials in their rock and sediment forms. This site publishes gridded outputs suitable for use by numerical modellers.
