Description
Summary:EMODnet Chemistry aims to provide access to marine chemistry datasets and derived data products concerning eutrophication, acidity and contaminants. The importance of the selected substances and other parameters relates to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This aggregated dataset contains all unrestricted EMODnet Chemistry data on potential hazardous substances, despite the fact that some data might not be related to pollution (e.g. collected by deep corer). Temperature, salinity and additional parameters are included when available. It covers the Norwegian Sea, Barents Sea, Greenland Sea and Icelandic Waters. Data were harmonised and validated by the 'Institute of Marine Research - Norwegian Marine Data Centre (NMD)' in Norway. The dataset contains water and sediment profiles. The temporal coverage is 1974–2011 for water measurements and 1974–2020 for sediment measurements. Regional datasets concerning contaminants are automatically harvested and the resulting collections are harmonised and ...
