gov.noaa.ngdc:G02896 Dr. Jane Frazer, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Dr. Mary Fisk, Scripps Institution of Oceanography 1979 Data in the OCSEAP Region from the Scripps World Sediment Data File First Tabular Digital Data MGG Marine Geology Data Set MGG15995012 Boulder, CO US Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NOAA Satellite and Information Service (NESDIS), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) and World Data Center for Marine Geology and Geophysics, Boulder. http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/nndc/struts/results?op_28=eq&v_28=15995012&t=101477&s=1&d=2 The Scripps Institution of Oceanography compiled descriptions of sediment samples in the Alaskan Outer Continental Shelf area, funded through the NOAA Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP), with previous funding from the International Decade of Ocean Exploration (IDOE) by the National Science Foundation, as part of the SIO world sediment data bank. Descriptions and basic grain size analyses of 688 core, dredge, and grab samples from the Alaskan outer continental shelf are included, along with station and reference information. These data are in ASCII form, the grain size data were too general for inclusion in the NGDC digital grain size database with other OCSEAP grain size analyses. They are available for direct download from NGDC's web site. Marine Environmental Assessment Data were collected from published sources by SIO.
