Purpose

Map showing sediments classified by grain size gives a good overview of the depositional environment and the nature of the seabed. By grouping grain size classes in a geologically reasonable way, the dataset can be visualized as other thematic maps, such as Sedimentation areas (areas where fine-grained sediments are deposited), and Diggability (sediments grouped and presented according to how easy it is to dig in the bottom).

Specific usage

This data set can be used as basis for decision making in the overall land use and environmental planning, habitat mapping, vulnerability analyzes, impact analysis in connection with installations on the seabed etc. Based on information about grain size distribution, other thematic maps can be developed, such as sedimentary environment, bottom currents, anchoring conditions, etc.

Supplemental Information

The data set covers only certain areas in Norwegian fjords and seas near the coast, where various mapping projects have provided detailed information about the seabed. The data set contains areas that have been mapped at different levels of detail.
