PANGAEA Bathymetry Web Map and Feature Service
This new PANGAEA Bathymetry Web Map and Feature Service https://www.ogc.org/standards/wms/introduction (first release 2021) contains bathymetry data archived at PANGAEA (including only data with a CC-BY 3.0 or CC-BY 4.0 license). This service is developed as part of the German Marine Research Alliance in the core area "Data management and Digitalization" (Deutsche Allianz Meeresforschung, DAM https://www.allianz-meeresforschung.de/en/).
Note that not all bathymetry data currently archived in PANGAEA are visualized through this service. However, the number of datasets will be continuously increased in the future. As of now, only raw & processed data from multibeam echosounder measurements are incorporated in this service (further developments are in progress).
Please acknowledge that each layer of this service contains further usage requirements (e.g. citation rules) provided in the abstract (see below). Data visualized in this service shall not be used for navigational purposes.
For feedback & questions please contact PANGAEA. https://www.pangaea.de/contact/
This web map service is accessible via:
https://maps.awi.de/services/common/pangaea_bathymetry/wms
This web feature service is still considered a beta version and accessible via:
https://maps.awi.de/services/common/pangaea_bathymetry/wfs
Each incorporated PANGAEA dataset in this service contains a vast amount of dataset-specific individual metadata. If you consider incorporating this service (data layers) into any front-end application (e.g., a web-based data portal), please also make the incorporated metadata of each layer available and visible to the user.
Please note that a Geographic Information System (GIS) (e.g. QGIS https://qgis.org/ ) is required to access this service. However, data of this service can also be explored using the Viewer https://marine-data.de/?site=viewer of the Data Portal German Marine Research https://marine-data.de/. (see also below)
Further information about development and usage requirements are documented in Damaske et al. (2024). Generally cite the service also with:

Data Contribution
To facilitate incorporating PANGAEA data to this service, please note the detailed information about bathymetry data submissions to PANGAEA here.
