Purpose

Knowledge about the seabed sediments is necessary for understanding processes in the marine environment, and knowledge about the distribution of seabed sediments is important for the best possible management of marine areas and resources.

Supplemental Information

Mapping of Quaternary sediments on the seabed is based on different mapping methods, where seismic and sediment sampling are most commonly used techniques.

Statement

The thematic dataset Seabed sediments (genesis) is based on grain size data, interpretation of video and seabed samples, interpretation of digital reflectivity data, interpretation of digital seismic data, and existing information from previous surveys. Detailed bathymetry data has been used as a support to the interpretation. The data has been digitized and prepared using ArcGIS tools. The methodology is described in the attribute fields Målemetode and GeolPavisningstype. The codes and properties mainly follow the SOSI standard. The dataset has been interpreted and digitized by NGU, but the basis for interpretations is data from the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU), the Norwegian Mapping Authority and the Institute of Marine Research (IMR).
