MarineBottomSedimentsWMS

Seabed sediments and sedimentary environment. The map service presents the grain size composition, relative hardness and the genesis of the of the seabed sediments in Norwegian marine areas. The thickness of Quaternary sediments on the Norwegian Shelf and the thickness of the Holocene sediments in the Skagerrak are also presented.

Statement

The WMS-service publishes many map layers that show marine geological data. The data has been collected over many years using different methods and equipment, therefore both the quality and level of detail of the data varies from place to place. The content and mapping scale are described in the abstract of some layers. Some map layers have scale limits for display.
