Seabed substrate 1:1 000 000

Seabed substrate 1:1 000 000 is one of the products produced in the EMODnet (European Marine Observation and Data network) Geology EU project. Project provided seabed geological material from the European maritime areas. The EMODnet Geology project ( http://www.emodnet-geology.eu/) collects and harmonizes geological data from the European sea areas to support decision-making and sustainable marine spatial planning. The EMODnet Geology partnership has included 36 marine organizations from 30 countries.

This data includes the EMODnet seabed substrate map at a scale of 1:1 000 000 from the Finnish marine areas. It is based on the data produced on a scale of 1:20 000 by the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK). The data has been harmonized and reclassified into five Folk substrate classes (clay + silt (mud), sandy clays, clayey sands, coarse sediments, mixed sediments) and bedrock. The data describes the seabed substrate from the uppermost 30 cm of the sediment column. The data have been generalized into a target scale (1:1 000 000). The smallest cartographic unit within the data is 4 km2.

Further information about the EMODnet-Geology project is available on the portal ( http://www.emodnet-geology.eu/).

Purpose

The data has been created for the decision-making, research and large-scale marine spatial planning. The material is produced on a 1:1 000 000 scale and it describes the seabed substrate at a general level only, and is not suitable for a detailed analysis. The data tells the seabed substrate composition from the surface to 30 cm depth.

Statement

This material is reclassified from the Finnish marine geological data to Folk sediment classification system based on expert-estimations. Folk sediment classification is an international accepted classification system based on particle size distribution.

The data have been generalized into a target scale (1:1 000 000). The smallest cartographic unit within the data is 4 km2.

More information on the process can be found from the EMODnet Geology WP3 Guidelines II (Process is similar to 1:250 000 data/map)
