Abstract:
The objectives of RRS Discovery Cruise 153 were to provide information related to the testing for an oceanic disposal of high-level radiocative waste, to obtain a photographic traverse from the abyssal plain on to an abyssal hill and to search for variation in occurrence of manganese nodules, number and type of benthos, and evidence of current erosion.

Comment:
From 1983 until 1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions. At the time it was the most extended data compilation on ferromanganese deposits world wide. Initially published in a proprietary format incompatible with present day standards it was jointly decided by AWI and NOAA to transcribe this legacy data into PANGAEA. This transfer is augmented by a careful checking of the original sources when available and the encoding of ancillary information (sample description, method of analysis...) not present in the NOAA-MMS database.
