Software

This dataset contains all the code and data underlying the publication "Subsurface Sediment Properties and Potential Impacts of Marine Sand Extraction on Sand Wave Occurrence on the Netherlands Continental Shelf". In this study, we analysed existing sediment samples of the Netherlands Continental Shelf i) to find characteristic values for the median grain size and mud content of the current surface sediment; ii) to quantify the typical difference of these properties between the current surface layer, and a layer that might become exposed due to sediment extraction; and iii) to explore how the exposure of this layer mayimpact the occurrence of sand waves on the Netherlands Continental Shelf.

This folder contains all the input data (stored in "Data/org") as well as all analysis scripts and functions. For more details on how to use the scripts and code, as well as the included data, we refer to the Documentation ("AA Documentation/Documentation.pdf").
