The NGDC Seafloor Sediment Geotechnical Database
The NGDC Seafloor Sediment Geotechnical Properties Database contains test engineering
properties data coded by students at NGDC from primarily U.S. Naval Oceanographic
Office laboratory reports, but also from data reports generated by NOAA's Atlantic
Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML). These files consist of very few
reports coded at NGDC into the historic "074" format which was then incorporated into
the historic "073" digital format for physical properties of sediments. Coding was
a test case, and full scale development of the data file was never undertaken.

Supplemental Information |
The 074 geotechnical data were later incorporated into the 073 grainsize format and
only exist as discrete files in the 073 format, archived under the individual MGGID
data sets from which the data were extracted.
