island and point reference dataset tiled

Most accurate island shoreline dataset currently available, adjusted from Sayre et al. (2019), tectonic plates adjusted from Bird (2003) and the complete geoNames point location dataset to be used as reference datasets for labeling of features in the 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 queryable by subdividing the continents into smaller and manageable 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).

reference_points

This table stores point geometries which can be used for labeling features. The data has been downloaded from the allCountries.zip hosted by geonames.
