The Global Marine Environment Datasets (GMED) is a compilation of publicly available climatic, biological and geophysical environmental layers featuring present, past and future environmental conditions. GMED covers the widest available range of environmental layers from a variety of sources and depths from the surface to the deepest part of the ocean. It has a uniform spatial extent, high-resolution land mask (to eliminate land areas in the marine regions), and high spatial resolution (5 arc-minute, c. 9.2 km near equator). The free online availability of GMED enables rapid map overlay of species of interest (e.g. endangered or invasive) against different environmental conditions of the past, present and the future, and expedites mapping distribution ranges of species using popular SDM algorithms. This archive features a snapshot of GMED dataset in 2019 as a single archive.

Funding

The research was funded by the New Zealand Government under the New Zealand International Polar Year-Census of Antarctic Marine Life Project (IPY2007-01), a University of Auckland Doctoral Scholarship, and New Zealand Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment project CO1X1226.
