Sedimentary Features (carbonate percentage) of the Australian EEZ (National Geoscience Dataset)

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

The map provides a visual representation of the carbonate content of seabed sediments expressed as a weight percentage. The data are represented from 0 to 100%. The data on which this map is based were compiled from marine sediment database (MARS - http://www.ga.gov.au/oracle/mars/) of Geoscience Australia. This dataset is a contribution to the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub and is hosted temporarily by CMAR on behalf of Geoscience Australia.
