What kind of outputs does dbSEABED produce?
For mapping in Geographic Information Systems, dbSEABED produces a number of flat files that are comma delimited. Those files give the 20 most useful parameters and information on grain types and sedimentary features. These outputs can be enhanced in various ways, for instance by combining analytical and descriptive outputs, assigning gridded water depth values where not present, and rearranging the data by their position within the seafloor. For use in relational database systems like Oracle, MySQL or Access, dbSEABED produces a set of tables that are linked at the levels of seafloor site or sample using a system of numeric keys.
