| # GlobSed — Global Ocean Sediment Thickness, Modernized |
|
|
| 6,251,924 points across the world's oceans and marginal seas, at native |
| 5' x 5' resolution. Modernized from CEED's |
| GlobSed NetCDF grid into a single GeoParquet file for AI, API, and GIS use. |
|
|
| ## Contents |
| - `geoparquet/globsed_sediment_thickness.parquet` — point-based GeoParquet (EPSG:4326) |
| - `metadata.json` — provenance, citation, units, value range, license note |
|
|
| ## Columns |
| | Column | Description | |
| |---|---| |
| | longitude / latitude | Grid cell centroid (degrees, WGS84) | |
| | sediment_thickness | Total sediment thickness (unknown) | |
| | geometry | Point geometry (WGS84) | |
| |
