NOAA & MMS Marine Minerals Bibliography & Geochemical Database
World Data Center for Marine Geology & Geophysics, Boulder
From 1983 through 1992, the National Geophysical Data Center compiled a comprehensive, computerized bibliography and geochemical database on offshore marine mineral deposits as a cooperative effort with the Ocean Minerals and Energy Division of the National Ocean Service of NOAA, and the Office of International Activities and Marine Minerals (INTERMAR) of the Minerals Management Service. In 1991, the completed database and bibliography were released on CD-ROM.
The NOAA & MMS Marine Minerals CD-ROM Data Set, produced by NGDC and partially funded by INTERMAR, contains the entire NGDC Marine Minerals Bibliography and Geochemical Database and several data files compiled by other organizations. The bibliography is searchable on-line on NGDC's web server. In 2000, the International Seabed Authority reworked the geochemical data from the CD-ROM, and the updated version of the database is now searchable on their Web site (see link below).
