 A lot of sediment contamination is available in MMO marine license applications.
-A standard suite of chemicals is set out ([[https://www.gov.uk/guidance/marine-licensing-sediment-analysis-and-sample-plans|sample plans and analysis]) which has to be sampled for before many types of marine license are granted.  The concentration of chemical contaminants is submitted as part of the application in a standard template format Excel macro spreadsheet (xslm).  The concentrations are in visible sheets named after the chemical type measured, along with information about the sampling locations and a particle size analysis of each sample.  There are also an equal number of hidden sheets with the types of analysis used to assess the data are shown.

 Spreadsheets of thousands of concentrations are a useful resource, but comparison and analysis in a spreadsheet format is not possible.  The Sediment Template Data Explorer has been developed to allow both comparison and analysis of multiple sheets across multiple locations and over time periods.
