The bathymetric data were derived from "A bathymetric map of Lake Baikal" (Marc de Batist et al., 2002, doi:10.1595/GFZ.SDDB.1100 ).The map of de Batist et al. is based on all available and most recent sounding data of Lake Baikal. The underlying vector data were transformed to UTM Zone 48, WGS 84. The dataset comprises four different maps:

* Three high-resolution bathymmetric maps of the main CONTINENT coring sites [Project Homepage ] [Download Data (zip)]
* low-resolution bathymmetric map of Lake Baikal [Download Data (zip)]
