Gakkel Ridge Sediment and Basement Grids with Asymmetry Analysis

The Gakkel Ridge in the Arctic Ocean is the focus of this dataset supporting a manuscript on accretion symmetry. It contains sediment-thickness and residual-basement grids, flowline profiles, asymmetry-index data, and modeling scripts. The dataset is 813.1 KB in size, authored by Pingchuan Tan, and was last updated on May 6, 2026.

Use Cases

• Model time-dependent sedimentation rates based on the provided scripts.
• Analyze accretion asymmetry at ultraslow spreading ridges based on the asymmetry-index data.
• Map seafloor basement topography based on the residual-basement grids.
• Reconstruct flowline evolution based on the provided flowline profiles.

Strengths

• Includes multiple complementary data types: grids, profiles, indices, and scripts.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.
• Specifically supports a peer-reviewed manuscript, suggesting academic rigor.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small (813.1 KB), indicating a limited geographic or temporal scope.
