NOAA & MMS Marine Minerals Bibliography Documentation
August 28, 1992
From 1983 to 1992, the National Geophysical Data Center actively compiled a comprehensive, computerized bibliography and geochemical data base on offshore marine mineral deposits. This Marine Minerals Project was a cooperative effort between NGDC and the Ocean Minerals and Energy Division (OMED) of the National Ocean Service of NOAA from 1983-1989. The Office of International Activities and Marine Minerals (INTERMAR) of the Minerals Management Service, (formerly the Office of Strategic and International Minerals) added its support to the project from 1985-1992. The Marine Minerals Bibliography includes references to present-day marine deposits of ferromanganese nodules and crusts, placers/heavy minerals, phosphorites, and polymetallic sulfides from the mid-1800s through 1990, and references over 17,000 published and unpublished documents. Fields in the Marine Minerals Bibliography include author, title, publication/serial title, date of publication, language, etc., as well as several key word categories including geographic area and type of study conducted. Subject key words are annotated with "technical" or "general" to indicate whether a subject was mentioned briefly, or was explored in detail. Key words also include the names of each mineral and each element mentioned in the article. Geographic keys include ocean or sea name, coded designations for the ocean/sea, the name of any pertinent geographic feature, U.S. exclusive economic zones (e.g. East Coast), and geologic setting. Many documents relevant to marine minerals were not "key worded" for the Marine Minerals Bibliography. Only articles which directly mentioned a deposit of one of the four types listed above were included - not articles which, for example studied water column chemistry in an area of known interest, but never mentioned a mineral deposit. Many of these closely related articles are to be found in the bibliography, with the "STATUS" of "NOT KEYED,RELATED." Such articles were usually discovered in the list of references at the end of an article on marine minerals, requested, read, and then determined not to have direct information on a deposit. The related articles were kept in the bibliography with a "NOT KEYED,RELATED" status in order to avoid re-requesting and re-reviewing them. |
EXPLANATION OF FIELDS/CODES USED ON KEY WORD FORM
(key word forms used for each deposit type follow this explanation)
The following were the written instructions given to people performing key
word extraction on articles. Many additional terms were entered as "other"
key words, but the additional terms were not entered as consistently, and
should not be relied upon as an index of all articles in which those terms
occurred. The most consistent, and useful key words will be found in the
various SUBJECTS and SETTINGS, as well as in the KEY WORDS section in the
form of mineral and element names mentioned in association with a deposit.
DEPOSIT TYPE AND RELEVANCE
Relevance: P = Primary Topic of Article S = Secondary topic
Whole Article - refers to whether the type of mineral deposit on this
form was the main subject of the article, or was only mentioned as a
secondary (less important) subject. If any one chapter in a multiauthor
volume has a relevance of 'P', then the entire multiauthor volume should be
given a relevance of 'P' for that deposit type.
Relevance: T = Technical G = General
For 1 digit fields - refers to whether this particular subject is covered
in the article as a general 'common knowledge' item, or is studied in
technical detail - quantitative analyses are always technical, but some
non-quantitative data can also be classified as technical.
Type: Refers to the type of deposit being described on this form - more
than one form is required (1 per type) if more than one relevant type of
deposit is treated in the article.
MN = Manganese
PH = Phosphorite
PS = Polymetallic Sulfide
HM = Heavy Mineral/Placer Study
Deposit - Refers to an actual concentration of Manganese (crust, pavement,
micronodules, nodules, etc.), Phosphorite (nodules, layers, massive
deposits), Placer (Placer or Heavy Mineral study on a continental shelf or
other insular margin < 200 meters water depth - deposits where the only
heavy mineral mentioned is pyrite do not qualify as heavy mineral/placer),
or Polymetallic Sulfides (veins, stockwork, layers, massive sulfides, etc.)
associated with hydrothermal systems in the ocean. Where the sulfides are
finely disseminated in a hard rock rather than isolated as significant
veins, etc., it is not considered to be a polymetallic sulfide deposit for
purposes of this bibliography.
This does not include disseminated Mn or Sulfides in sediments (including
pyrite) unless closely associated with a hydrothermal vent or ridge system.
It also does not include mn, sulfate, sulfide, phosphorus or phosphate
dissolved in the water column, or phosphorus/phosphate disseminated in
sediment. 'Phosphorite' is a specific term referring to a rock of higher
than a certain % phosphorus - we don't draw a line because the % varies.
Phosphorus is an element, and phosphates are a group of compounds - we are
interested in 'phosphorites' or 'phosphate-rich' rocks, sand, gravel,
pebbles, cobbles, crusts, or layers.
SUBJECTS
Geochemistry: where %'s of elements or compounds are measured within
the deposit. 'T' if actual %'s are presented in the
article - 'G' if general ranges are discussed. Any
element/compound mentioned should be included as an
'other key word' - only if it is mentioned in relation
to a relevant deposit.
Photographs: B = Bottom Photo (photo of the sea floor)
S = Sample Photo (core, hand sample, microscopic)
P = Photo, both (bottom photo and sample photo)
Mineralogy: 'G' if minerals within the deposit are just named.
'T' if %'s are given or methods (x-ray diffraction,
etc.) are discussed in detail. Any mineral mentioned
should be included as an 'other key word'- only if it
is mentioned in relation to a relevant deposit.
Age Date Codes: R = Relative (paleo/strat), A = Absolute, B = Both
Deposit Genesis: 'G' if mentioned, ie. 'diagenetic', 'T' if methods of
deposit formation are discussed in detail.
Growth/Accum.: where the rate of growth of nodules (or accumulation
of matter by the deposit in general is given)
Geophys Explor: For placer/heavy minerals articles. Refers to
geophysical exploration directly related to the
heavy mineral deposit ONLY. For example, a magne-
tometer survey to discover the limits of the deposit.
Grain Size: For placer/heavy minerals articles. Refers to a grain
size analysis of the actual heavy mineral-rich area
or placer deposit ONLY.
Predictive Modelling: For placer/heavy minerals articles. A study of
the possible sources of the heavy minerals found in
the deposit - development of a THEORETICAL MODEL to
explain the deposit location, configuration, or
composition, or predict location of other placers.
SURROUNDING SEDIMENT
Sediment - When the sediment surrounding a deposit is studied, for
manganese deposits, then use this category - it usually refers to sediments
around hydrothermal vents or around Mn nodules.
Geochemistry: used if the geochemistry of the sediment or its interstitial
waters is given. Same criteria for 'T/G' as in deposit,
includes isotope chemistry of sediments.
Properties: used if any physical properties of the sediment are measured
- ie. grain size, density, porosity, permeability, general
makeup, thickness, etc. 'G' if just mentioned, 'T' if
studied in detail, or a major subject of the article.
HARD ROCK STUDIES
Hard Rock - This category is used when hard rock associated with a deposit,
or an area where deposit formation is likely (ie. around a hydrothermal
vent) is studied, rather than/ or in addition to, the actual mineral
deposit. (if a 'hard rock' study of a massive sulfide or phosphorite
itself is made, then use the deposit category above). Any study of the
rock qualifies - use appropriate 'other key words' to qualify the type of
study.
WATER COLUMN STUDIES
Water Column - This refers to water above or surrounding a deposit, or a
hydrothermal vent (not to interstitial or pore water of sediment, or fluid
inclusions in hardrock). It can be used for hydrothermal vent waters after
they exit the vent into the water column. Waters within vents are
described using the 'other key words' fields.
Chemistry: any chemical study at all (T or G)
Temperature: any measurement of water temperature (T or G)
OTHER TOPICS
Other Topics - Check any of these 'T' or 'G' if discussed at all in the
article. 'G' if mentioned, 'T' if discussed in technical
detail.
Economics: The value, mining potential, or political/economic importance
Instruments: The instruments used to study, retrieve, or process the
deposit are discussed (includes patents)
Law: National or international laws, treaties, agreements,
or principles are discussed
Extraction: Also known as 'beneficiation' - involves the removal of
selected elements or compounds from deposit materials
once they are recovered from the sea floor - may be
chemical or mechanical or both (methods of recovery of
material from the sea floor are 'instruments')
Environmental: some discussion of the impact of mining the deposit on
Impact the surrounding environment.
Biology: Living organisms near the deposit are mentioned, or
their possible role in the deposit formation is
discussed (also note environmental impact, if applicable)
SETTINGS
Geologic Setting: Place an 'X' next to applicable setting or leave blank
Feature Name: List all applicable names, if on present list, use exact
spelling, if not, please add to the list. Maximum
length of a feature name is 30 characters including
blanks and punctuation. For deposits described as being
offshore from a region with a placename (beach, town,
etc.). Please code that placename as a feature name
also. Definitely list all state names in the U.S. if
known, from which the deposits are offshore.
U.S. EEZ Zones: Place an 'X' in the blank for each zone discussed, if
EEZ zones are discussed, but no mention of a specific
zone is made, code as 'general (unspecified)'.
L.O.S. Areas: Use 999 for Worldwide See map and list of area codes -
code 2-digit number in first 2 blanks of field, leaving
3rd blank for letter code
KEY WORDS
Other Key words: See list and explanation below, maximum length of other
key words is 30 digits including blanks and punctuation.
"Other Key word" List
1) Note all minerals, elements, and compounds studied which DIRECTLY
RELATE TO THE DEPOSIT. Use proper names, not chemical formulas.
2) Note the form of the deposit (nodules, pellets, etc.), for placer/heavy
mineral deposits note if it is a placer or heavy mineral.
3) Note any major topic in the article not covered by these instructions -
