Interactive Map of Core Locations
Interactive map to view sediment core locations with meta information
Calculated distances represent the shortest Euclidean path to the nearest coastline geometry (GSHHG dataset).
While the data is projected (EPSG:3035) to minimize distortion at high latitudes, please interpret these values as estimates. In areas with complex topography—such as narrow fjords or dense archipelagos—the resolution of the coastline vector data may result in minor deviations from real-world measurements.
Location names from geographic coordinates are algorithmic estimates based on geometric proximity. They may differ from historical logbooks or specific political definitions of maritime borders.
Interactive Map
The map below displays the spatial distribution of sediment cores. The markers are color-coded based on their distance from the nearest Norwegian coastline.
How to use this map:
- Zoom and Pan to explore specific coastal areas or offshore regions.
- Click the Globe icon to reset the view.
- Filter the data by toggling distance categories in the top-right menu (e.g., uncheck boxes to hide specific ranges).
- Use the Legend in the bottom right to interpret the color coding.
- Hover over a point to quickly identify the Cruise ID and Core ID.
- Click on a marker to view exact coordinates, distance to shore (in km), and location names.
