Sedimentary environment describes processes that presently influence the seabed with respect to erosion, sediment transport and sediment deposition. The dataset series comprise two datasets: Sedimentary environment, detailed, and Sedimentary environment, regional. The two individual datasets are digitized in different scales and have different data coverage.

The dataset provides an overview of the dominant sedimentation environment in the mapped area. This is an interpretation of the processes that prevail on and near the seabed in terms of erosion, transport and deposition of sediments. Based on information about the sedimentatary environment, other thematic maps can be developed, such as bottom currents, sediment transport, pollution distribution, etc.

The dataset provides an overview of dominant sedimentary environments in the mapped area. This is an interpretation of the processes acting on and near the seabed in terms of deposition, transportation and erosion of sediments. Marine sedimentary environment, regional is one of the products of the MAREANO-program and covers the mapped marine areas on the Norwegian continental shelf in the Norwegian Sea and the Barents Sea.

The map layer provides an overview of the dominant sedimentary environment in the mapped area. This is an interpretation of the processes that prevail on and near the seafloor in terms of accumulation, transport and erosion of sediments. The map is digitized for use at scales ca 1:100 000 (regional).
