PANGAEA - Data from various sources

OBIS and EurOBIS

Biological data from various sources within PANGAEA
Collection of biological data from various sources within PANGAEA. Several smaller projects (less than 1 000 distribution records) and data which are not linked to a project, are collected here.

Overview of included projects:

• Data from the Atlantic database for exchange processes at the deep see floor (ADEPD)
  
• Data from the Baltic Sea System Study (BASYS)
  
• Data from changes in the Geo-Biosphere during the last 15000 years
  
• Data from Pelagic-benthic coupling in the oligotrophic Cretan Sea (CINCS)
  
• Data from the European project on ocean acidification (EPOCA)
  
• Data from the Investigation of new marine biological resouces in deep waters of Ionian and Aegean Seas
  
• Data from Key coastal processes in the mesotrophic Skagerrak and the oligotrophic Northern Aegean (KEYCOP)
  
• Data from the Kurile-Okhotsk sea marine experiment (KOMEX)
  
• Data from the Laptev Sea system project (LSS)
  
• Data from the Mangrove dynamics and management (MADAM)
  
• Data from Hydrodynamics and biogeochemical fluxes in the Straits of the Cretan Arc (PELAGOS)
  
• Data from Silicon cycling in the World Ocean (SINOPS)
  
• Data from multiproxy approach for the reconstruction of the glacial ocean surface
  
• Data from coastal ecology @ AWI
  
• Data from periglacial dynamics @ AWI
  
• Data from integrierte analyses zwischeneiszeitlicher klimadynamik
  
• Data without project indications
  

Detailed citation information on these records can be found in PANGAEA.

N/A

This dataset was downloaded from OBIS (https://obis.org/). The records for only marine mammals, seabirds, sea turtles and rays and sharks were extracted. Records with no longitude/latitude or no date (eventDate) were excluded.

Overview

This section explains attributes included in the original dataset. OBIS-SEAMAP restricts the attributes available to the public to date/time, lat/lon and species names/counts only. Should you need other attributes described here, you are encouraged to contact the data provider.

Attributes described below represent those in the original dataset provided by the provider.
All attributes are included in the downloadable file (CSV or ESRI File Geodatabase) for "Complete Set of Dataset".
