island reference dataset tiled

Most accurate island shoreline dataset currently available, adjusted from Sayre et al. (2019) as well as tectonic plates adjusted from Bird (2003) to be used as reference datasets for region or island naming in TABS R-package. The datasets are stored using the geopackage data format and all use the reference system WGS84, SRID 4326.

islands

This table stores the global shoreline vector and integrates all named islands (All_BI_Named_2) and small islands (global_islands_outputs.gdb). The mainland geometry is split and stored in a separate table (continents). 

continents

Table containing the mainland geometries provided by the global shoreline vector (global_islands_outputs.gdb). The data were pre-processed to make the geometries easily queriable by subdividing the continents into smaller and managable polygons.
plates
Table with geometries of different plates. The dataset that was used is a conversion of the dataset originally published in the paper Bird (2003).

orogens

Table with geometries of different orogens. The dataset that was used is a conversion of the dataset originally published in the paper Bird (2003).
