Seafloor Surficial Sediment Descriptions (Deck41)
-
The NGDC "Deck41" database contains surficial sediment descriptions for over 36,000 seafloor samples worldwide.
- Description:
-
- Abstract:
- Deck41 is a digital summary of surficial sediment composition for over 35,000 marine samples worldwide.The descriptions were abstracted largely from unpublished laboratory reports and core log sheets contributed to the National Oceanographic Data Center prior to 1975. Descriptions were assigned by Ms. Susie Bershad,and Dr. Martin Weiss of the Marine Geology and Geophysics Branch of NODC, which was transferred to the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) in 1975, at which time compilation ceased. Data are free for online search and download.
- Purpose:
- research and exploration
- Supplemental Information:
- Deck41 descriptions are available online through a custom relational database interface, and also through the NGDC marine geology digital inventory. A custom online map-based (ArcIMS) interface to the data is also available.
