about the image on the NGDC home page
The Images offered here are .GIF .JPG or .MPEG images produced in the National Geophysical Data Center's Marine Geology & Geophysics Division (with the exception of the seafloor topography from satellite altimetry, produced by Dr. Walter Smith of NOAA). The crustal age images were produced at NGDC in cooperation with scientists from other organizations. These images are in the public domain, with the exception of images in outside publications to which we provide links (disclaimer and copyright information). We are pleased to see NGDC-generated images throughout the web, and appreciate links back to this page.
If you use these images, please credit the underlying data sources/funding institutions of the data from which the images were derived, and credit NOAA/NGDC for the image..
