Seamount Biogeosciences Network (SBN)
The goal of the Seamount Biogeosciences Network is to bring together all the diverse science disciplines involved in seamount research, to communicate about and discuss seamount science, and to explore innovative ways to network amongst the diverse communities working on seamounts. 		 
SEAMOUNT CATALOG
Seamount Morphology, Maps and Data Files
The Seamount Catalog is a digital archive for bathymetric seamount maps that can be viewed and downloaded in various formats. This catalog contains morphological data, sample information, related grid and multibeam data files, as well as user-contributed files that all can be downloaded. Currently this catalog contains more than 1,800 seamounts from all the oceans.
ERDA
EarthRef Digital Archive
This online archive contains any type of digital data object associated with the Earth sciences. Data objects may be part of non-published Earth Sciences projects ranging from data tables to diagrams to reports to geological maps to videos. All registered EarthRef.org users may make contributions to the database.
To upload your own files in the ERDA Digital Archive and Link them to particular seamounts, please select an option below and continue by clicking the Upload button.

  • A two week learning segment on Hotspot Volcanoes has been implemented through a collaborative effort between Melanie McWilliams, a high school Earth and Planetary Science teacher at Chula Vista High School in California, and Jamie A. Russell, a masters student at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Utilizing data collected during Jamie?s research, the students were taught about the hotspot theory and how hotspot volcanoes are important to understanding other Earth science concepts. The segment begins with five lessons, one for each day of the week and culminates with a group project for the students. Read more ...
  • The First SBN Workshop finished successfully with the presentation of 20 keynote presentations and more than 25 posters. All keynote presentations are now available as Microsoft Powerpoint presentations, Adobe Acrobat PDF's or QuickTime Movies from the ERDA digital archive. Poster presentations will become available from this online archive as well over the coming weeks. Download here ...
  • The Southern Indian Ocean Deepwater Fishers' Association (SIODFA) announces the first Voluntary Closures to High-Seas Deepwater Trawling in eleven Indian Ocean areas. Combined these areas equal Australia's Great Barrier National Park. By not fishing in these areas, their deepwater corals and accompanying benthic fauna will gain protection in one of the least explored deepwater areas of the world.

  • The First SBN Workshop will be held on March 24-25, 2006 at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California. The goal of the Seamount Biogeosciences Network (SBN) is to bring together all the diverse science disciplines involved in seamount research, to communicate about and discuss seamount science and to explore innovative ways to network amongst the diverse communities that work on seamounts. This upcoming workshop will feature keynote and discussion sessions on important seamount science issues, the sharing of data across disciplines, and the potential of sharing shore-based and seagoing logistics. SBN is funded as Research Coordination Network (RCN) by the NSF-BIO and OCE directorates. Read more ...
  • New MagIC v2.4 Released! A new version of the online database for the Magnetics Information Consortium is now available including a much improved usage of controlled vocabularies and support of more magnetic data types. Users can upload their own rock and paleomagnetic data and data from legacy studies into this online relational database. Data uploads prepared with older versions of the MagIC software will be automatically update once reprocessed with the new version of the console software. Download software ...
  • PmagPy has been added to Earthref.org's Online Modeling Tools. PmagPy is a software package written by Lisa Tauxe for handling paleomagnetic data, including the MagICPy scripts to help import paleomagnetic data into the MagIC database. Knowledge of Python is not required to use the software, but would be useful for customizing the programs for your own use. Detailed instructions for the PmagPy installation and numerous examples are provided in the documentation. Read more ...
