In October of 1992, the NOAA and MMS Marine Minerals Bibliography (MMBIB) was released as a compact disc. The bibliography includes over 17,000 citations of references to sea floor deposits of ferromanganese (polymetallic) nodules and crusts, placers/heavy minerals, phosphorites, and polymetallic sulfides published from 1831 through 1990. References include key word categories indicating geographic area and type of study conducted. Subject key words are annotated with "general" or "technical" to indicate whether a subject was mentioned briefly, or was explored in detail. Key words also include the names of each mineral and each element mentioned in the article. Geographic keys include ocean or sea name, numeric designators for the ocean/sea, the name of any pertinent geographic feature, US exclusive economic zones (e.g. East Coast), and geologic setting. The NOAA and MMS Marine Minerals CD-ROM Data Set, produced by NGDC and partially funded by INTERMAR, contains the entire NGDC Marine Minerals Bibliography and Geochemical Database and several data files compiled by other organizations. The bibliography is searchable on-line on NGDC's web server. The NOAA and MMS Marine Minerals Bibliography and geochemical database was incorporated by the International Seabed Authority (ISA) into their online compilation, which uses the NGDC MMBIB identification system for references.

(Marine Minerals Technology Center, Ocean Basins Division, University of Hawaii, Look Laboratory, 811 Olomehani Street, Honolulu, HI 96814, 808-522-5611). Conditions of transfer were that the collection will be kept as a discrete set, filed according to the MMBIB number, in order to facilitate its use with the computerized NGDC Marine Minerals Bibliography and Geochemical Data Base, and will remain in the public domain, with free access (not duplication) provided to all interested parties. Publications generated using the collection are required to cite the NGDC Marine Minerals Bibliography as a source of information, including reference to NOAA/NGDC, and to the project sponsors, MMS/INTERMAR and NOAA/NOS/OMED. The United Nations-sponsored International Seabed Authority (ISA) has reworked most of the geochemical data from this CD-ROM set and is also updating/maintaining the bibliography with enhancements. Both are available online through the ISA central data repository. A digital data set containing bibliographic information and key words from a controlled vocabulary for marine mineral deposits of several types. point Publication Year Year the reference was published. 1876 1991 An entry in the bibliography describing the contents of an article pertaining to marine mineral deposits in a standardized form using key words from a controlled vocabulary. Definitions are from the original instructions given to coders at NGDC. point MMBIB Identifier A unique identifier for a reference within the NOAA and MMS Marine Minerals Bibliography consisting of the first four letters of the (first) author last name, followed by the first letter of the (first) author first name, then the first letter of the (first) author middle name (a if no middle name), then the last two digits of the year of publication, then a two digit sequence number within the year. E.g., CRONTM8301 (Cronin, T.M., 1983). The MMBIB is also used to cross-reference source articles with geochemical data in the NOAA and MMS Marine Minerals Geochemistry database.

Composite volume, Language The language in which the reference is written. Name of language. Deposit type Type: Refers to the type of deposit being described on this form - more than one form is required (1 per type) if more than one relevant type of deposit is treated in the article. Deposit - Refers to an actual concentration of Manganese (crust, pavement, micronodules, nodules, etc.), Phosphorite (nodules, layers, massive deposits), Placer (Placer or Heavy Mineral study on a continental shelf or other insular margin less than 200 meters water depth - deposits where the only heavy mineral mentioned is pyrite do not qualify as heavy mineral/placer), or Polymetallic Sulfides (veins, stockwork, layers, massive sulfides, etc.) associated with hydrothermal systems in the ocean. Where the sulfides are finely disseminated in a hard rock rather than isolated as significant veins, etc., it is not considered to be a polymetallic sulfide deposit for purposes of this bibliography. This does not include disseminated Mn or Sulfides in sediments (including pyrite) unless closely associated with a hydrothermal vent or ridge system. It also does not include mn, sulfate, sulfide, phosphorus or phosphate dissolved in the water column, or phosphorus/phosphate disseminated in sediment. 'Phosphorite' is a specific term referring to a rock of higher than a certain % phosphorus - we don't draw a line because the % varies. Phosphorus is an element, and phosphates are a group of compounds - we are interested in 'phosphorites' or 'phosphate-rich' rocks, sand, gravel, pebbles, cobbles, crusts, or layers. MN: Manganese/Ferromanganese PH: Phosphorite HM: Heavy Mineral/Placer PS: Polymetallic Sulfide Relevance 1 Whole Article - refers to whether the type of mineral deposit on this form was the main subject of the article, or was only mentioned as a secondary (less important) subject. If any one chapter in a multiauthor volume has a relevance of P, then the entire multiauthor volume should be given a relevance of P for that deposit type. P = Primary Topic of Article S = Secondary Topic of Article Relevance 2 For 1 digit fields - refers to whether this particular subject is covered in the article as a general, common knowledge, item, or is studied in technical detail - quantitative analyses are always technical, but some non-quantitative data can also be classified as technical. T = Technical G = General Subjects - Geochemistry where weight percentages of elements or compounds are measured within the deposit. Note - Any element/compound mentioned should be included as key word, type other, but only if it is mentioned in relation to a relevant deposit. T if actual weight percentages are presented in the article G if general ranges are discussed Subjects - Photographs Photographs included relevant to a mineral deposit. B = Bottom Photo (photo of the sea floor) S = Sample Photo (core, hand sample, microscopic) P = Photo, both (bottom photo and sample photo) Subjects - Mineralogy Any mineral mentioned should be included as an 'other key word'- only if it is mentioned in relation to a relevant deposit. G - if minerals within the deposit are just named. T - if weight percentages are given or methods (x-ray diffraction, etc.) are discussed in detail. Subject - Age Date Age dating of relevant mineral deposits included in reference. R = Relative (paleontologic/stratigraphic) date A = Absolute date B = Both relative (paleontologic/stratigraphic) and absolute date Subject - Deposit Genesis Discussion of method of deposit formation G - if mentioned, e.g., diagenetic T - if methods of deposit format are discussed in detail Subject - Growth/Accumulation where the rate of growth of nodules (or accumulation of matter by the deposit in general is given) T - technical discussion G - general discussion Subject - Geophysical Exploration For placer/heavy minerals articles. Refers to geophysical exploration directly related to the heavy mineral deposit ONLY. For example, a magnetometer survey to discover the limits of the deposit. T - technical discussion G - general discussion Subject - Grain Size For placer/heavy minerals articles. Refers to a grain size analysis of the actual heavy mineral-rich area or placer deposit ONLY. T - technical discussion G - general discussion Subject - Predictive Modeling For placer/heavy minerals articles. A study of the possible sources of the heavy minerals found in the deposit - development of a THEORETICAL MODEL to explain the deposit location, configuration, or composition, or predict location of other placers. T - technical discussion G - general discussion Subject - Surrounding Sediment/Geochemistry Sediment - When the sediment surrounding a deposit is studied, for manganese deposits, then use this category - it usually refers to sediments around hydrothermal vents or around Mn nodules. Used if the geochemistry of the sediment or its interstitial waters is given. Same criteria for T/G as in deposit, includes isotope chemistry of sediments. T - technical discussion G - general discussion Subject - Surrounding Sediment/Properties Sediment - When the sediment surrounding a deposit is studied, for manganese deposits, then use this category - it usually refers to sediments around hydrothermal vents or around Mn nodules. used if any physical properties of the sediment are measured - e.g., grain size, density, porosity, permeability, general makeup, thickness, etc. T - technical discussion G - general discussion Subject - Hard Rock Studies This category is used when hard rock associated with a deposit, or an area where deposit formation is likely (ie. around a hydrothermal vent) is studied, rather than/or in addition to, the actual mineral deposit. (if a hard rock study of a massive sulfide or phosphorite itself is made, then use the deposit category above). Any study of the rock qualifies - use appropriate key word type other to qualify the type of study. T - technical discussion G - general discussion Subject - Water Column Studies/Chemistry This refers to water above or surrounding a deposit, or a hydrothermal vent (not to interstitial or pore water of sediment, or fluid inclusions in hardrock). It can be used for hydrothermal vent waters after they exit the vent into the water column. Waters within vents are described using the key word type other fields. Any chemical study. T - technical discussion G - general discussion Subject - Water Column Studies/Temperature This refers to water above or surrounding a deposit, or a hydrothermal vent (not to interstitial or pore water of sediment, or fluid inclusions in hardrock). It can be used for hydrothermal vent waters after they exit the vent into the water column. Waters within vents are described using the key word type other fields. Any measurement of water temperature. T - technical discussion G - general discussion Subject - Economics The value, mining potential, or political/economic importance of a mineral deposit. T - technical discussion G - general discussion Subject - Instruments The instruments used to study, retrieve, or process the deposit are discussed (includes patents) T - technical discussion G - general discussion Subject - Law National or international laws, treaties, agreements, or principles are discussed T - technical discussion G - general discussion Subject - Extraction Also known as beneficiation - involves the removal of selected elements or compounds from deposit materials once they are recovered from the sea floor - may be chemical or mechanical or both (methods of recovery of material from the sea floor are instruments) T - technical discussion G - general discussion Subject - Environmental Impact Discussion of the impact of mining the deposit on the surrounding environment.
