Google Earth Tool


Google Earth Global Viewer

A browser for the data in dbSEABED, presented in 0.1 degree bins. The display web page, LINK HERE, allows users to download or start a KML file which integrates data tiles for the world for viewing.

In Google Earth (or other fully compatible applications) zoom down to about 1000km altitude, till when white bin outlines appear. Then click on any of the cells to discover what sediment / rock / biologic remains have been observed there.

These data are not intended for bulk download, for discovery only.
