New seismic reflection and refraction data have been used to add detail to the conjugate Australian and Antarctic margins and intervening ocean floor where previously regional sediment thickness patterns were poorly known. On the margins, sediment thickness estimates were computed from velocity-depth functions from sonobuoy/refraction velocity solutions ground-truthed against seismic reflection data. For the Southeast Indian Ridge abyssal plain, sediment thickness contours from Géli et al. (2007) were used. The new regional sediment thickness grid was combined with NGDC's original ocean sediment thickness grid (Divins, 2003) to create an updated global grid of ocean sediment thickness. Even using the minimum estimates, sediment accumulations on the extended Australian and Antarctic continental margins are 2 km thicker across large regions and up to 9 km thicker in the Ceduna Basin compared to NGDC's original sediment thickness grid (Divins, 2003), which has been deprecated but is still available. purpose: To update NGDC's global sediment-thickness database for use by researchers and interested public. status: (MD_ProgressCode) completed pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) individualName: Joanne Whittaker organisationName: Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania positionName: Marine Geoscientist contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: +61 (0) 3 6226 6367 address: (CI_Address) electronicMailAddress: jo.whittaker@utas.edu.au role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact resourceMaintenance: (MD_MaintenanceInformation) maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency: (MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode) asNeeded graphicOverview: (MD_BrowseGraphic) fileName: https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/image/sedthickv2.png fileDescription: Image of total sediment thickness of the world's oceans and marginal seas, Version 2 fileType: png descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: EARTH SCIENCE>OCEANS>Marine Sediments type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords date: (CI_Date) date: 2020-01-09 dateType: (CI_DateTypeCode) publication edition: 9.1 citedResponsibleParty: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Earth Science Data and Information System contactInfo: (CI_Contact) onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords name: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords description: The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.
