Australian Seabed Sediments: Grain Size and Texture
Over a century of marine sediment samples, collected between 1905 and 2017, are documented in this dataset. It contains point data describing physical properties like %mud, %sand, %gravel, mean grain size, and texture classified using Folk (1954) nomenclature. Samples were sourced from multiple organizations across the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone, Antarctic Territory, Christmas Island, the Timor Sea, and waters around Papua New Guinea.
