Seismic reflection and refraction data were used to add detail to the conjugate Australian and Antarctic margins and intervening ocean floor where regional sediment thickness patterns were previously poorly known. NCEI decommissioned this product in June 2025 with no further updates. Comments and questions may be sent to: ncei.info@noaa.gov.
