AAPG Datapages and the GIS Publications Committee wish to thank Robertson (a CGG Company) for allowing the Robertson Sedimentary Basins of the World Map to be posted on Datapages' GIS Open Files page, thereby making it available to the public as a free download. We believe that this map has merit and will be an excellent resource for geologists to have a better understanding of global sedimentology and tectonics.
The following is a summary of attributes for each identified basin:
- Name
- Area
- Description
- Group
- Country
- Hierarchical sort code
The data can be accessed via ESRI's ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Service:
