Distribution of surficial sediments in the ocean around New Zealand/Aotearoa. Part A: continental slope and deep ocean

New Zealand has a large and geologically complex marine Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and extended continental shelf (ECS). Data from approximate to 150 published, unpublished, national and international collections covering >30,000 sediment analyses and observations were compiled and integrated...
